A Minimax Procedure for Electing Committees
A new voting procedure for electing committees, called the minimax procedure, is described. Based on approval voting (AV), it chooses the committee that minimizes the maximum “Hamming distance” to all voters (minimax outcome). Such an outcome may be diametrically opposed to the outcome obtained from aggregating votes in the usual manner, which minimizes the sum of the Hamming distances to all v...

Suppose instead that we require the coins (all of which showed heads) to be tossed again? Under such a change of rules, ...
