The wording is correct and the English seems plain to me.<br>
<br>
You just keep eliminating the candidate that has (among remaining
candidates) the worst (as measured by losing votes) pairwise loss.<br>
<br>
49 A<br>
24 B<br>
27 C>B<br>
<br>
A>C 49-27, C>B 27-24, B>A 51>49<br>
<br>
The worst loss (as measured by losing votes) is B's (to C) so we
eliminate B and then A (as Forest put it) "is undefeated among
those still in play" so A wins.<br>
<br>
Like Hare and Benham it fails Mono-raise and I think I eventually
concluded that it was more vulnerable to Push-over strategy than
them.<br>
<br>
It has the advantage of being super-simple and only needing the
information in the pairwise matrix. It's alternative name is
Raynaud(Gross Loser).<br>

<br>
In the example I gave above, the three different versions of
Raynaud all elect different winners. <br>
<br>
The worst loss by Winning Votes is A's so that elects C (in
defiance of the Plurality criterion) and the worst by Margins is
C's so that elects B.<br>

To me it sounds like:
while (no Condorcet winner) { eliminate the Minimax winner (!) }
elect the Condorcet winner
Or should that have been "most" instead of "fewest" losing votes?
