Reverse Bucklin tiebreaker

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

  Upon further thought of Bucklin and majority and minority groups--

Attention Mike O.-- note the majority against and lesser of evils !!!!

  Reverse Bucklin is another tiebreaker if there is no Condorcet winner.
If a choice has a majority against it (in the last choice or last 2 choices
(if necessary) or last 3 choices (if necessary), etc.), then it loses.

This comes about due to the possibility of having a divided majority and/ or a
divided minority.

Example--
A, B, C= divided majority;   D,E = divided minority

100 voters
17 A > B > C > (D or E)
17 B > C > A > (D or E)
17 C > A > B > (D or E)
25 D > E  > (A or B or C) 
24 E > D  > (A or B or C)

Assume no candidate has a majority against in the last choice (5th place).
D and E would both have a majority against in the last 2 choices (4th and 5th
places) and thus lose.   The votes for A, B or C on the 49 D and E first
choice ballots would then move up.   Presumably the D and E voters would pick
the lesser of the majority evils (in their minds) as an original 3rd choice
which then becomes a 1st choice.

Reverse Bucklin applied to some earlier examples---

  35 voters vote B > A > C > D.
  30 voters vote C > D > B > A.
  20 voters vote A > C > D > B.
  15 voters vote D > B > A > C.

Majority YES choices go head to head
Reverse Bucklin as tiebreaker.
