I In this example, Margins fails weak 1st Choice. B is middle CW. The A voters order-reverse. The C voters try to protect B by voting B equal to C, but it doesn't help. 151 100 100 A B C & B C The only way the C voters can protect the win of B, the CW, is by actually voting B _over_ their favorite. You say B can prevent the order-reversal succeeding by ranking C over A? But then that makes it all the easier for C to order-reverse against B. To call that protection of B is stretching the meaning of protection. Mike
