My goal is much more modest than "getting rid of strategic voting"; it may be impossible under the modified Condorcet/CpSSD system we use. I *am* interested in understanding exactly how the particular tactic of insincere ranking of preferences affects voter strategy, and thus the outcome. I am unconvinced that truly strategic voting requires the voter to have all-but-impossible-to-gather information about the rest of the electorate, as some others have asserted. If that were true, I'd expect to see "further discussion" losing a lot more pairwise contests. (I do presume that most voters want their ballot to have a deterministic effect, not a random one.) -- G.
