Consider a ballot with the options A, B, C, D, E. E is the default option. The votes are: 10 DABC 8 BCDE 6 CDAB D wins. Now consider a ballot with additional options a, b, c, d. The votes are: 5 DdAaBbCc 5 dDaAbBcC 4 BbCcDdAa 4 bBcCdDaA 3 CcDdAaBb 3 cCdDaAbB This should result in a tie between d and D. If you have no propositions for a tie, how can you tell which options are involved in the tie? Thanks, -- Raul
