From: [...] Brent Vukmer Also, I specified proportional representation using weighted scores since the CIVS documentation seemed to indicate that that was the best method for electing a group. Is that the case?
Well, it depends what you want from the group. PR tries to please everyone somewhat, so may select a winning group with a wider support base but not really make anyone totally happy. Condorcet tries to elect a group who win the most paired elections, so may select a winning group with strong support of a majority but that are loathed by the minority.
My original (and hence your post to squeak-dev) did say we'd be using Condorcet, not PR. Do we want to change this post-announcement?

Eh, no. I want to stick with Condorcet, I just got confused when creating the election on CIVS.
I'll cancel the current test election and create one with the proportional representation option disabled.
