[EM] An interesting real election

[Markus Schulze]

Hallo,

over a long period of time, the Simpson-Kramer
method was considered to be the best Condorcet
method because this method minimizes the number
of overruled voters. However, the Simpson-Kramer
method has recently been criticized e.g. for
violating the Smith criterion, reversal symmetry,
and independence of clones.

Therefore, my aim was to find a method that
satisfies the Smith criterion, reversal symmetry,
and independence of clones and that chooses the
Simpson-Kramer winner wherever possible.

In your example, candidate #2 is the Simpson-Kramer
winner. Therefore, candidate #2 should be elected.
