Abstract: | The issue of estimating the voter power in weighted voting systems is considered. We show that the numerical values of the weighted power index previously introduced by the author can be determined by a simple minimization scheme. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by estimating the influentiality of U.S. Congressmen. |
