Hinich wrote papers with probabilistic models of voting, years before 1991. Actually, Gordon Tullock's paper on the general irrelevance of the impossibility theorem, as well as Arrow's followup paper, uses a probabilistic model. The biggest problem with this entry is that it ignores the many other probabilistic models, and
it makes one particular model look much more important than it actually is. Also, it is extremely inaccurate to say that probabilistic models, much less any
particular one, have supplanted the deterministic one. There are articles in the Journal of Theoretical Politics by Brauninger and others that use deterministic models. --Craig Tovey 03:43, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[[Special:Contributions/2601:C6:C102:62F7:8178:7B28:ABA4:2840|2601:C6:C102:62F7:8178:7B28:ABA4:2840]] ([[User talk:2601:C6:C102:62F7:8178:7B28:ABA4:2840|talk]])
