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.
