The theory of voting is not worth bothering with unless it is going to be applied.Michael Dummett, 1984 [40]
While DSV is quite interesting from a theoretical standpoint, the
theory would be of little consequence if it could not be applied to
real voting situations. In this chapter we evaluate the behavior
of declared-strategy voting systems and assess their suitability for
real-world group decision-making. In Section 
we present
an acceptability study designed to assess attitudes about DSV. In
Section we present the results of our DSV simulations.
In Section we present a case study of the 1992 Presidential
election and discuss the impact DSV might have had on that election.
In Section we return to the evaluation criteria
presented in Chapter , applying them to DSV.
