- This paper studies a dominance relation among scoring rules with respect to avoiding the selection of the Condorcet loser. In a voting model with three or more alternatives, we say that a scoring rule $f$ Condorcet-loser-dominates (CL-dominates) another scoring rule $g$ if the set of profiles where $f$ selects a Condorcet loser is a proper subset of the set where $g$ does. We show that the Borda rule not only CL-dominates all other scoring rules, but also is the only scoring rule that CL-dominates some scoring rule.
