Resumen
Proponemos y discutimos una regla de votación basada en un índice de apoyo mayoritario que recibe cada alternativa en comparaciones por pares: las alternativas que reciben el mínimo valor de este indicador se eliminan iterativamente. Con esta regla (majoritarian support with iterative elimination, o MSE) buscamos que la alternativa ganadora nunca sea cubierta por otras y que, además, esté incluida en el Banks Set. Que no esté cubierta significa que ninguna alternativa que la venza mayoritariamente en comparación por pares vence, a su vez, a todas las alternativas vencidas por ésta. Que forme parte del Banks Set significa que es uno de los equilibrios restringidos a los que llegarían votantes estratégicos sofisticados. MSE es también una regla condorcetiana, en el sentido de que si hay un ganador Condorcet la regla determina su elección. En cuanto a las posibles credenciales epistémicas, MSE no puede ser interpretada como un estimador de máxima plausibilidad (como Kemeny-Young, Borda, u otras). Sin embargo, se puede argumentar en favor de una noción epistémica cuyas raíces se apartan de Condorcet pero alcanzan a Rousseau y su idea de la voluntad general.
We propose and discuss a voting rule based on a majority support index that each alternative receives in pairwise comparisons: the one that receives the minimum value of this indicator or score is eliminated from the individual voters' orders and the indicator is computed again, and so on until only one alternative remains, which is the winner. With this rule (majoritarian support with iterative elimination, or MSE) we look for the property that the winning alternative is never covered by others and that, furthermore, it is included in the Banks Set. That it is not covered means that no alternative that beats it in a pairwise comparison beats, in turn, all the alternatives that it beats. That it is part of the Banks Set means that it is one of the restricted equilibria that sophisticated strategic voters would arrive at. MSE is also a condorcetian rule, in the sense that, if a Condorcet winner exists, then the rule determines the choice of it. Regarding possible epistemic credentials, MSE cannot be interpreted as a maximum plausibility estimator (like Kemeny-Young, Borda, or others). However, it can be argued in favor of an epistemic notion whose roots go away from Condorcet but reach Rousseau and his idea of the general will.
