26 A>B
25 B>A
49 C
Mutual Majority elects {A,B}
Now add 5 A bullet votes:
26 A>B
25 B>A
49 C
5 A
Now Mutual Majority elects {A,B,C}.
-----------------------------------
I guess I don't understand "mutual majority", then, because after adding 5
votes it takes 53 votes to have a majority, and only A has a majority. B is
51/105 and C is 45/105.
Five bullet-votes for A appear to change (A,B) to (A).
