Hi, I haven't been around for a good while but some of you may remember me.<br>
<br>
I have recently been playing around with some stuff for scoring
condorcet elections, and ran into a question that seemed obvious but
maybe not:<br>
<br>
Is it possible, in any of the Condorcet election methods (beatpath,
ranked pairs, etc), for someone who has fewer pairwise wins than
another candidate, to win the election regardless?<br>
<br>
For instance, say there is no Condorcet winner. Candidates A, B
and C all have 8 pairwise wins. D has 7. Could D still be
chosen as the winner by any "reasonable" method?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
