Abstract
In elections with variable (and potentially large) electorates, Brams and Fishburn's No Show Paradox arises when a voter is better off not voting than casting a sincere ballot.. Scoring methods do not generate the paradox. We show that every Condorcet consistent method (viz., electing the Condorcet winner when there is one) must generate the paradox among four or more candidates.
