It works exactly like MinMax(margins) when there is no equal top ranking as is the case for

x: C
y: A>B
z: B (or B>A),

MinMax(margins) handles the ABE just fine, but it doesn't satisfy the FBC, which is the main 
contribution of LRV.


What doe you think about the example

33 A
17A=C
17B=C
33 B

approval scenario?

LRV elects C, but gives a toss up to A and B in the scenario

34 A
16A=C
16B=C
34 B .
