Condorcet paradoxes imply majoritarian methods fail independence of irrelevant alternatives. Label the three candidates in a race Rock, Paper, and Scissors. In a one-on-one race, Rock loses to Paper, Paper to Scissors, etc. Without loss of generality, say that Rock wins the election with a certain method.

This means that within a voting context where three or more options are present, a majority of voters can prefer option ...
Aug 3, 2011 · A key observation of Condorcet (which has become known as the Condorcet Paradox) is that the majority ordering may have cycles (even when all the voters submit rankings of the alternatives).

The Borda count, formally defined later, avoids Condorcet’s paradox but violates one of Arrow’s conditions, the independence of irrelevant alternatives. Thus the debate ...
Aug 9, 2014 · Condorcet paradox. M.J.A.N. de Caritat, Marquis de Condorcet, studied the problem of determining the most likely correct choice, under voting by a group of decision-makers. In this, his work is closely related to that of J.-Ch. Borda. In the case of dichotomous choice (two alternatives), Condorcet obtained valuable results (see also Condorcet ...
Condorcet’s Paradox and Condorcet Winners. Proof. Olken () Voting 8 / 20 [Proof (4 alternatives)] Supper there is a not a Condorcet Winner. Then we know there are at least 3 alternatives such that x ˜y and z ˜x. Suppose that y ˜z. Then x ˜y ˜z ˜x and we™re done. So suppose that z ˜y. So now we have x ˜y, z ˜x, and z ˜y.
