We need to recruit many new members (I would like to get over 1000) and get endorsements of range voting from all the main US third parties and a lot of...
... No. Do not use automated mail techniques to send mail to substantial numbers of people without their consent. Each mail should be sent as a single piece,...
... --I do not know what this means. I can send a lot of mails as single mails. Does it mean "every email sent out should be perceptibly different in content"?...
... Yes. It means that every mail *that is sent at the same time* should be different. Using email to send a bunch of form letters is asking to have your ISP...
... I agree with Abd. ... Yes, I agree. ... Yes. Whatever method we decide to propose, we should be able to sell it to some of our fellow voting reformers....
... I am a close personal friend of Michael Badnarik; I worked as his campaign assistant and driver for the first part of his presidential campaign. He...
... Well good. WHAT I WANT FROM BADNARIK: 1. I want Badnarik to sign the CRV endorsement page, which he (and anybody - do it yourself please!) can either do...
... What do you mean by "present this evidence to the election methods community"? ... The truth is, the noun "vote" is very general. It doesn't mean a whole...
... This assumes that only one race is on a ballot, which I have *never* seen in the U.S. except for runoff elections. Normal practice here for hand-counting...
... The process I have in mind is designed to maximize consensus. It does not guarantee it. Making "everyone* happy with a decision is difficult. But,...

... I mean here or on the Election Methods list. The latter is wider. There is a wider forum still, but less open to controversy, per se, but it can be used to...
I am now adding a web page to address this "nonlinearity bogeyman" at http://math.temple.edu/~wds/crv/NonlinBogey.html (Thanks for Lomax for bringing this to...
... Thanks for the credit. However, the response there does not really address the crucial issue. First of all, no claim was made that range "votes" were...
... --I do not yet comprehend Lomax's latest round of objections, but a quick reply is that this claim is false - blanks in approval are blanks and nos are nos...
... First of all, the comments about blanks were parenthetical. The central issue is how Range "Votes" are compared with Approval Votes. The question about...
yes, the approval voting we used was 3-values (0, 1, blank) and would indeed require a different ballot than the pluarlity-checkbox type ballot Lomax has in...
I'm going to start introducing motions for consideration. As a discussion list, we could go on forever without finding full agreement. But CRV was founded to...
I move that this list, functioning as an advisory group, elect a chair to facilitate decision-making process. For the purpose of making a decision on this...
... For a number of study purposes, that's fine. But it's not Approval as understood by most. I'd suggest that if any voter expressed an approval opinion for...

... Since I seconded the motion in my previous message, I guess I could have begun discussion within that message as well. I have some questions: Can we begin...
It's hard to know what most people understand, and apparently your understanding is supported by the wiki, but it is my understanding/memory that approval was...
well, Lomax is again revealing how little he read the paper abotu the range & approval poll. I can hardly go into the details here, but most of what he just...
we can "practice what we preach" by using range voting for CRV decisions, because yahoo has a "polls" feature which can be set to use either plurality or...
