[edit] Definition of ordering candidates preferredness

I think the following needs clarification: "less preferred candidate cannot cause a more preferred candidate to lose". What is the definition of preferredness of one candidate versus another? Can this be defined for all voting systems? For example, in range voting how do you order the preferredness of the candidates? It would be nice if less and more preferredness were links that give formal definitions. WilliamKF 16:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
