Saari pointed out that cyclic ambiguities come from a "Condorcet profile"

or "symmetric profile".  If the electorate consists of 3 groups


35 A>B>C

33 B>C>A

32 C>A>B


we can "decompose" the electorate into


32 A>B>C  +  3 A>B>C

32 B>C>A  +  1 B>C>A

32 C>A>B

D- Selectively ignoring ANY votes in my local area is STILL a major election 
felony.

Who has a YES majority ???

Saari can appear at any time on this list and be roasted accordingly.
