Further Comments on Majority Rule Under Transitivity Constraints

In their note [Blin, J. M., A. B. Whinston. 1974. A note on majority rule under transitivity constraints. Management Sci. 20 (11) 1439–1440.], Blin and Whinston indicate that the linear integer programming formulation of the majority voting problem can also be formulated as a quadratic assignment problem. We wish to point out that both of these formulations are a result of the fact that majority decision functions can be linearized over the set of integer solutions to the linear program.
