Tideman and GMC

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

Example:

   26 voters vote C > A > B > D.
   20 voters vote B > D > A > C.
   18 voters vote A > D > C > B.
   14 voters vote C > B > A > D.
   08 voters vote B > D > C > A.
   07 voters vote D > A > C > B.
   07 voters vote B > D > A = C.

   Then the matrix of pairwise defeats looks as follows:
                    [margin]
   A:B=51:49      2
   A:C=45:48      3
   A:D=58:42     16
   B:C=35:65     30
   B:D=75:25     50
   C:D=40:60     20

The Tideman ranking is C > A > B > D and the Tideman
winner is candidate C. The Schulze ranking is A > C > B > D
and the Schulze winner is candidate A.

D-
D is the largest clone (of B obviously). If it is removed, then
   A:B=51:49    2
   A:C=45:48    3
   B:C=35:65    30

C beats A
C beats B
A beats B

C>A>B>D
