NAME

Vote::Count::Redact

VERSION 1.03

Methods for Redacting Ballots.

Purpose

Redacting Ballots is useful for what-if analysis and identifying Later Harm effects. Compound Methods seeking to reduce Later Harm effects can also be developed using this technique.

use Vote::Count::Redact qw/RedactPair RedactBullet RedactSingle/;

RedactBullet

Takes a list (array) of choices to be converted to bullet votes. Returns a modified BallotSet where all votes that had a first choice vote for a member of the list are votes for only that choice.

my $newBallotSet = RedactBullet( $VoteCountObject->BallotSet(), 'A', 'B', 'F');

RedactSingle

Return a new BallotSet truncating the ballots after the given choice.

my $newBallotSet = RedactSingle( $VoteCountObject->BallotSet(), $choice);

RedactPair

For a Ballot Set and two choices, on each ballot where both appear it removes the later one and all subsequent choices, returning a completely independent new BallotSet. It is necessary to remove later choices, because otherwise the ballot would be voting against the target later choice, not merely not voting for.

my $newBallotSet = RedactPair( $VoteCountObject->BallotSet(), 'A', 'B');

Todo for RedactPair

Add options to only apply to first choice votes, either making them bullets or only redacting the opposing choice from first choice votes.
