A Princeton math Ph.D, who incidentally told Rivest how to use this method for plurality voting, says:
Interestingly, 3ballot turns out to work most naturally, securely, and simply, for approval voting and range voting. It still works – but less naturally, securely, and simply for plurality voting (the kind of voting currently most common throughout the USA and world) – and it essentially does not work at all for voting methods based on rank-order ballots such as instant runoff voting.
So, let's see you refute him please. Prove that it's possible. I'm pretty sure he's proven that it's not.
