Candidate C is not in the Smith Set. Therefore, (when the
used election method meets LIIA) candidate C must not
influence the result of the elections. When we substract
candidate C, then one voter votes AB and one voter votes BA.
Therefore, (when the used election method also meets anonymity
and neutrality) there is an exact tie between candidate A
and candidate B.
