Question

Consider the weighted voting system {60: 4, 56, 58}. a. Compute the Banzhaf power index for each voter in this system. b. Voter B has a weight of 56 compared with only 4 for voter A, yet the results of part a show that voter A and voter B both have the same Banzhaf power index. Explain why it seems reasonable, in this voting system, to assign voters A and B the same Banzhaf power index.
