Hallo,

I propose the following defensive strategy criteria.

Criterion 1:

   Suppose Q1 is the number of voters who strictly
   prefer at least one candidate to candidate A.

   Suppose Q2 is the number of voters who strictly
   prefer candidate A to candidate B.

   Suppose Q1 < Q2.

   Then candidate B must be elected with zero probability.

Criterion 2:

   Suppose Q1 is the number of voters who strictly
   prefer candidate B to at least one candidate.

   Suppose Q2 is the number of voters who strictly
   prefer candidate A to candidate B.

   Suppose Q1 < Q2.

   Then candidate B must be elected with zero probability.
