I can't speak for Mike, nor do I know the probability of the above
example occurring, but if it does I can tell you the probability that J
would win (assuming the voters are rational): zero.
Of course, if the voters are irrational then it doesn't matter which
method you use. Maybe the 99 are inmates in a mental institution, and J
is the director of the institution.
