MinMax (pairwise opposition) satisfies LNHarm and usually gives results
that are similar to those of Condorcet methods. It can behave strangely
though, in electing a candidate with oddly few votes.

The method elects the candidate who minimizes the largest number of
votes against him in any pairwise contest. That is, it doesn't regard
who actually wins each pairwise contest.
