There's been some mention here about bad Condorcet winners. Presumably
that's Condorcet winners who don't have high first choice totals.
Bad for whom? Who is wronged when we elect such a Condorcet winner.
The majority who prefer him to A? The majority who prefer him to C?
Or some less-than-majority group that doesn't agree with one of
those majorities?

D- An obvious extreme example --
49 A B C
1 B [A or C] [C or A]
49 C B A
99
B is a CW.
