D- I have noted that it is improper to disregard truncated votes in a place
votes table-----
1 2 3 Tot
A A1 A2 A3 AT
B B1 B2 B3 BT
C C1 C2 C3 CT
Tot T1 T2 T3
T1 = T2 = T3 = AT = BT = CT
Disregarding truncated votes in head to head pairings is also improper.
Thus, there are majority winners in ALL head to head pairings (ignoring ties).
There are, of course, Condorcet losers (a choice defeated by each other
choice in all of his/her head to head pairings).
The standard circular tie-
34 ABC
33 BCA
32 CAB
66 A > B 33
67 B > C 32
65 C > A 34
Place Votes
1 2 3
A 34 32 33 99
B 33 34 32 99
C 32 35 34 99
99 99 99
