was named something (or after someone) else.<br>

the current Condorcet winner exempt from elimination at each
step in an IRV tally. His goal was to make one excellent rule

formerly of FairVote, proposed in 1990 changing the criterion
for winning Hare from a majority of ballots to the Condorcet
criterion.� This eliminates the option which holds the top
rank on the fewest ballots - until one option can top each of
the others 1-against-1.� To�focus on the tally process, we
might call Hare's rule "Majority-IRV" (M-IRV) and Loring's
variation rule "Condorcet-IRV" (C-IRV).</p>

This is one of the algorithms supported by CIVS, the one called
"Condorcet-IRV" though to my understanding it was originally
proposed by Thomas Hill.
