		<description>Sure. See the first example &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://scorevoting.net/RVstrat2.html&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;By the way, I caught those errors just briefly skimming, so I&#039;m sure there are several others.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But make no mistake, I agree that score voting is the best voting method for public single-winner elections.</description>

		<description>Thanks for pointing those out.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If the theorem only applies to a 3 candidate election, can you give an example of an election with greater than 3 candidates in which voters can gain an advantage by not voting their true preferences?</description>

		<description>A couple of mistakes pop out at me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Range voting encourages honest voting, rather than strategic voting. There is never an incentive for you to score a candidate you support more lower than a candidate you support less.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The theorem is actually as follows: &lt;i&gt;Honesty Theorem. In a 3-candidate range election, nobody can ever gain strategic advantage by dishonestly range-voting as though Alice&gt;Bob, if their honest opinion is Bob&gt;Alice. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a HREF=&quot;http://scorevoting.net/Honesty.html&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ScoreVoting.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You also didn&#039;t mention explain &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://scorevoting.net/WhyHalf.html&quot; REL=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;rule D&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
