When looking at votes-as-cast, it's easy to show how Borda can elect a
unanimously despised candidate:
Voter rating
<---preferred despised--->
----------------------------------------
40 A C D E
60 B C D E
In other words, C, D, and E are all despised candidates. Even though B
has a 60% majority, C wins the Borda count with 200 points compared to B
with 180.
