Majority Judgment
Considering, that a unrated candidate is assumed to receiving the worst possible rating, this example shows that Majority Judgment violates the later-no-harm criterion. Assume two candidates A and B with 3 potential voters and the following ratings:
| Candidates/ # of voters |
A | B |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Excellent | Good |
| 1 | Poor | Excellent |
| 1 | Fair | Poor |

Famous quotes containing the words majority and/or judgment:
“The majority of the men of the North, and of the South and East and West, are not men of principle. If they vote, they do not send men to Congress on errands of humanity; but while their brothers and sisters are being scourged and hung for loving liberty,... it is the mismanagement of wood and iron and stone and gold which concerns them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“These are days ... when a great cloud of trouble hangs and broods over the greater part of the world.... Then all about them, all about us, sits the silent, waiting tribunal which is going to utter the ultimate judgment upon this struggle.... No man is wise enough to produce judgment, but we call hold our spirits in readiness to accept the truth when it dawns on us and is revealed to us in the outcome of this titanic struggle.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
