correctly approaches 1 as the number of voters increases.
* On the other hand, if p is less than 1/2 (each voter is more likely to vote incorrectly), then adding more voters makes things worse: the optimal jury consists of a single voter.Since Condorcet, many other researchers have proved various other jury theorems, relaxing some or all of Condorcet's assumptions.
