[EM] An interesting real election

[Andrew Myers]

Here is an unusual case from a real poll run recently by a group using 
CIVS. Usually there is a Condorcet winner, but not this time. Who should 
win?

Ranked pairs says #1, and ranks the six choices as shown. It only has to 
reverse one preference. Schulze says #2, because it beats #6 by 15-11, 
and #6 beats #1 by 14-13. So #2 has a 14-13 beatpath vs. #1. Hill's 
method ("Condorcet-IRV") picks #6 as the winner.
