[EM] First Condorcet cycle ever spotted in a national presidential election (!?! apparently)

[Jameson Quinn]

This is good math, and very interesting, but it doesn't speak at all about
the politics of the matter. Have you figured out any tentative explanation
for the Condorcet cycles you postulate? Why would, for instance, O>B>G
voters be more common than O>G>B voters, yet in the mirror-image votes,
B>G>O voters more common than G>B>O ones? (I realize that the Condorcet
cycle does not require exactly that circumstance, but it suggests something
of the kind).

I understand that any such explanation would be post-hoc and speculative,
yet it is still worthwhile to make the attempt.
