Lionel Penrose proved that if n people perform this action, an individual's power decays as one over the square root of n. An instance of people performing this action differently than how they claimed they would gave rise to the term "Bradley effect." One study of this action identified collective rationality as the first of five attributes that ought to exist in fair systems of performing it. The conclusion of that book, Social Choice and Individual Values, states that no system of this action can satisfy all five conditions and aggregate the preferences of two or more individuals is known as the "impossibility theorem." For 10 points, name this action exemplified by casting a ballot.
