In the first competitive election for President of the Social Choice and Welfare Society, the (official) approval-voting
winner differed from the (hypothetical) Borda count winner, who was also the Condorcet winner. But because the election was
essentially a toss-up, it is impossible to say who
should have won. The election for Council was more true to form of other professional-society elections, with the winners identical,
and even their rankings almost duplicative, under both voting systems.
