Vote weighting
Multiple users have requested the ability to weight votes. It's not clear what would be the right way to do this. In test mode there would at least be a natural way to specify vote weights.
one more request: add STAR Voting method ( https://www.starvoting.us/ )
- I can help with this...
- programming, or at least - I can help with testing, expected results, load files, etc.
- or, whatever you may need for me to help with this, prepare documentation (technical, end user).
https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/rp.html CIVS currently supports five rules for Condorcet completion: Minimax-PM (the default rule), Schulze (also known as Beatpath Winner or Cloneproof Schwartz Sequential Dropping), Maximize Affirmed Majorities (MAM), a deterministic variant of MAM called CIVS Ranked Pairs, and a runoff-based Condorcet algorithm called Condorcet-IRV.
please ignore my comment above - I created a separate topic - issue # 38 for STAR Voting.
Test mode does now allow weights to be specified, but the way it's done is to replicate votes, which is not very efficient! The biggest challenge to doing the right thing is that all of the tabulation algorithms would need to be updated to understand that votes have weights.
