Forest,
<p>you seem to have the same kind of problem
<br>than Craig Carey.
<p>Sorry for repeating myself, but I think method
<br>"K) ranked pairs with residual approval weigths...."
<br>under the ESD site is what you would like.
<br>Except that in your multi-members election case
<br>you need to keep n winners not only one.
<p>The method is not very well explained, I have
<br>to rewrite the explanations...

First case:
<br>Ranked pairs with relative margins:
<br>Lock both C2 > C1 and C3 > C1, C2=C3 after.
<br>Ranked pair order C2=C3 > C1.
<br>Eliminate C1 which produces a 340 C1 residual approval weight.
<br>Ranked pair with relative margins for remaining candidates:
<br>C2=C3 (500 - 500). Make both scenarii with 1/2 ponderation:
<br>1st scenario: C2 eliminated . C2 residual weight 0, C3 residual weight
330.
<br>2nd scenario: C3 eliminated . C2 residual weight 330, C3 residual weight
0.
<p>Final approval weights C1 (340), and both C2 (330) and C3 (330).
<br>Elect C1, and one of C2 or C3 with a tie-breaker.

Second case:
<br>Ranked pairs with relative margins:
<br>Lock both C2 > C1 and C3 > C1, C2=C3 after.
<br>Ranked pair order C2=C3 > C1.
<br>Eliminate C1 which produces no C1 residual approval weight (0).
<br>Ranked pair with relative margins for remaining candidates:
<br>C2=C3 (500 - 500). Make both scenarii with 1/2 ponderation:
<br>1st scenario: C2 eliminated . C2 residual weight 0, C3 residual weight

<br>2nd scenario: C3 eliminated . C2 residual weight 500, C3 residual weight
0.
<p>Final approval weights C1 (0), and both C2 (500) and C3 (500).
<br>Elect C2 and C3.
