I mean you can't even understand the results without a detailed |
16 |
analysis. I was following the recent DPL elections, and at the end it |
17 |
was basically, "Branden won, but nobody really seems to have a good |
18 |
understanding of why or how." |
19 |
|
20 |
For example, this post: http://lwn.net/Articles/131551/ |
21 |
|
22 |
" The results are posted at |
23 |
http://master.debian.org/~srivasta/leader2005_results.txt |
24 |
http://master.debian.org/~srivasta/leader2005_results.png |
25 |
The tally sheet is at: |
26 |
http://master.debian.org/~srivasta/leader2005_tally.txt |
27 |
The list of people voting is at: |
28 |
http://master.debian.org/~srivasta/leader2005_voters.txt" |
29 |
|
30 |
None of which make _any_ sense to me with the exception of the voters list. |
31 |
|

A comment from the LWN post: |
33 |
|
34 |
"Does anybody here actually understand the results? I see a big bunch of |
35 |
numbers resulting somehow in a winner. However the seem to be no |
36 |
explaination whatsoever what these numbers actually mean. " |
37 |
|
38 |
Perhaps a voting method that regular people can actually understand |
39 |
intuitively would be more helpful. |
