40 C A B 30 A B C 20 B C A C defeats A 60:30, A defeats B 70:20, B defeats C 50:40; the weakest defeat is dropped, C wins. If the ABC voters switch to: 30 B C A then B wins -- lying about the acceptability of A *does* help B, even in a pure Condorcet case (well, pure CpSSD -- although even in pure Condorcet, B winning is probably preferable to no result).
