<BR>
Single office.<BR>
A 3rd choice is added to 2 existing choices.<BR>
Assume NO Condorcet Winner.<BR>
<BR>
Is it a bit common sense that for a tiebreaker each voter has in effect 2 YES votes (in columns 1 and 2) ???<BR>
Should the choice with the least YES votes lose ???<BR>
----<BR>
Same stuff with added choices -<BR>
Pick 3 of 4<BR>
Pick 4 of 5<BR>
etc.<BR>
<BR>
i.e. do the REVERSE for eliminating choices 1 at a time (and checking for Condorcet Winners and Losers).<BR>
<BR>
Note - the Number Votes column rank order by each voter may obviously change when there are added choices.<BR>
<BR>
AB<BR>
CAB<BR>
CABD<BR>
ECABD<BR>
ECAFBD<BR>
etc.<BR>
<BR>
i.e. ALL of the possible factorial combinations with a larger number of voters.<BR>
<BR>
2 2<BR>
3 6<BR>
4 24<BR>
5 120 <BR>
6 720<BR>
etc.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"></FONT></HTML>
