Abstract: | A central political and decision science issue is to understand how election outcomes can change with the choice of a procedure or the slate of candidates. These questions are answered for the important Copeland method (CM) where, with a geometric approach, the authors characterize all relationships among the rankings of positional voting methods and the CM. Then, the authors characterize all ways CM rankings can vary as candidates enter or leave the election. In this manner new CM strengths and flaws are detected. |
