 Similarly, whether the independence assumption is true depends on the decision problem in question. Although Condorcet’s conclusion is robust to the presence of some interdependencies between individual votes, the structure of these interdependencies matters (e.g., Boland 1989; Ladha 1992; Estlund 1994; Berend and Sapir 2007; Pivato 2017). If all individuals’ votes are perfectly correlated with one another or mimic a small number of opinion leaders, the collective judgment is no more reliable than the judgment among a small number of independent individuals.
