Combining APV and AV?

[edit]

Is there a method which combines Anti-plurality voting with Instant-runoff voting? Perhaps "Transferable elimination voting". So in the Tennessee example, the first round would be

58% Memphis, 42% Knoxville, 0% Nashville, 0% Chattanooga

Memphis is eliminated so the next round is

68% Knoxville, 32% Nashville, 0% Chattanooga

Knoxville is eliminated so the next round is

32% Nashville, 68% Chattanooga

Chattanooga is eliminated and so Nashville wins --Henrygb 12:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking further, I suspect this produces the same result as Coombs' method --Henrygb 15:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While it produces different results, sometimes (SEE LATER), this hypothetical Anti-plurality voting with Instant-runoff voting is not famous enough to warrant, its own wikipedia article, and thats the point of talk sections, discuss wikipedia related ussues and not just be some sort of forum.
About this new voting system, leading to different results, if you imagine this situation:
40% a>b>c>d
31% c>d>a>b
29% d>c>b>a
C wins under Coombs' method, and A wins under anti plularity instand-runoff.177.92.128.26 (talk) 10:25, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
