Mr. Harper-
The ">>" corresponds to the divide between YES and NO, in the usual way,
so A and C get 100 YES, 101 NO, while B gets 1 YES, 200 NO.
Sorry, I forget that not everyone automatically thinks in terms of
dyadic votes... :-)

D- YES, including me.
Since none of them gets a YES majority, then none of them should be elected
(even if there was a Condorcet Winner).
The example could just as easy be
2 A >> B > C
2 C >> B > A
1 B > A = C

For proportional representation elections, the YES/NO math is a little
different due to the nature of legislative body elections (i.e. trying to
represent ALL voters, as nearly as possible). Executive and judicial
officer elections are somewhat different obviously.
