Don't forget that the no-show paradox is closely related to (in fact is
an aspect of) the consistency problem. If B is elected, but removing a
handful of A supporters (say, by disqualifying their ballots) would
cause A to be elected, can that be a good thing, generally speaking?

D- This is getting stranger and stranger.
An election is based on the valid ballots cast and legally counted (by the
election method being used) --- nothing more and nothing less.
Nothing new since the first election -- in what year (500 B.C. ???) ???
A disqualified ballot is not a ballot (or anything else). B's initial
apparent win was illegal.
