Abstract

We analyze the Threeballot voting system proposed recently by R. Rivest. We investigate the relation between the number of the candidates in a race and effectiveness of Strauss' attack. We also show that in a reasonable scenario it is impossible to reconstruct voters' preferences for a single race with two candidates.
