As I said, I've probably never heard a complete IIAC definition,
other than my actual-votes definition, and these repaired versions
of Markus's definition.

My actual-votes definition says:

Deleting a loser from the ballots and then recounting those ballots
should never change who wins.

[end of definition]

D- I have mentioned more than a few times that there can be (with choice C 
added to existing choices A and B) ---

N1A CAB
N1B ACB
N1C ABC

N2A CBA
N2B BCA
N2C BAC

N amounts = numbers of votes

The very routine question is which choice should be a loser if there are 3 or 
more choices (or more basically if there should be any one loser at a time 
(or all but one loser at a time  ----  other than perhaps Condorcet losers).
