Comment on "The case for minimax‑TD"

Author

Listed:
  • Markus Schulze

Abstract

In recent papers, Darlington identifies minimax‑TD as the best single-winner voting method. He mentions two criteria allegedly met by minimax‑TD and violated by the Schulze method. In this comment, however, I will show that also minimax‑TD violates these criteria.
