This has been answered by several people, but Don didn't listen.
Talking without listening is his usual practice. 

A candidate with 50.1% of the 1st choice vote is would beat
any other candidate in a 2-way race. Has a majority over each
one of the other candidates.

Why would they shout me down, since I agree with them. The only
difference is that you believe in "majorities" that are
manufactured  by your method's rules. Won't you pay some attention
