Example 1, truncation:
40: A[B=C]
20: B[A=C]
30: CB[A]
[90]

Example 2, order-reversal:
201: AC[B]
200: B[A=C]
100: CB[A]
[501]
[truncations added]

D- Who has a YES majority in either example ???
If the truncations are deemed half votes in pairings, then there is
Example 1
40 AB 50
40 BC 50
40 CA 50
Circular tie
Example 2
201 AB 300
100 BC 401
100 CA 301
Circular tie
Problems happen with *ANY* divided majority.
Example
Sincere
26 A
25 B
49 Z
100
A and B have some sort of connection (such as being 2 liberals or
conservatives) -- Z is the opposing conservative or liberal.
Who makes a second choice vote if there is no majority requirement ???
Who, if any of the choices, can get a YES (i.e. *acceptable*) majority ???
If there is a majority requirement, then there will be insincere/ strategy
votes.
The heavens will NOT fall if some of the voters make second insincere/
strategy/ compromise votes based on
Desired > Compromise > Unacceptable.
