I'd be very careful with generalizations like this one. The
three-alternative case is qualitatively different from the two-alternative
case. The example itself depends upon their being an even number of voters
so the split can result in a tie. With the same 2000 voters and a third
candidate, you can't have a tie since 2000 is not 0 mod 3.
