Abstract: Abstract Felsenthal and Machover (1998, The Measurement of voting power – theory and practice, problems and paradoxes. Cheltenham: Edward Elgar) celebrated monograph on The Measurement of Voting Power set off a renewed impetus on the analysis of weighted voting systems. Their presentation strikes a balance between the game-theoretic and the probabilistic approaches to the subject. The present paper holds that the probabilistic view may be profitably extended even further, in providing helpful language as well as motivating new results.
