   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en_US">Given a chain of the partially ordered set of weighted games, it is currently unknown if weights can be assigned to each of the $n$ voters so that the chain is weighted. We conjecture that every consistent chain $C$ through weighted games admits weights, $\vec{w}$, such that for all weighted games $v$ in $C$, there exists a quota $q$ such that $v = (q, \vec{w})$. We prove that this is the case for $n\leq 5$. It is still currently unknown whether our conjecture is true for $n &amp;gt;5$.</dim:field>
