since there was no cycle, any Condorcet compliant work have worked identically.  if it had a cycle, since there were only three candidate tickets, Schulze, Tideman, and MinMax would still have performed identically.
Markus, do you think they counted the ballots by hand or
with a scanner of some sort?  if by hand, they would just do the pairwise elections (there would be 3 different pairwise elections), record the winner and margin of each pair, any of these different methods would be executed on the margins.  do you think that's what they did (apply Schulze
to the 3 pairwise results), or since a CW was immediately apparent, wouldn't they just quit at that point?
just curious.
