Title
Elections Can be Manipulated Often
Abstract
The Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem states that every non-trivial votingmethod among at least 3 alternatives can be strategicallymanipulated. We prove a quantitative version of theGibbard-Satterthwaite theorem: a random manipulation by a singlerandom voter will succeed with non-negligible probability for everyneutral voting method among 3 alternatives that is far from beinga dictatorship.
