The order in which the tied victories are processed (or their order of
precedence) depends on a tie breaking ranking of the candidates, or
TBRC.  The end result will have C above D, and X above all other
candidates, for any TBRC.  This is true no matter what order you
process the victories in.  So, in short, X wins.
