---- D- A *real* first choice can lose (if rankings were being used). 48 A 3 AC 1 BC 48 C 100 Approval A 51 (all *real* first choice votes) B 1 C 52 (wins using simple Approval) (very unlikely but it can happen) Again- Condorcet's very major contribution was a notice of head to head math. Such head to head math applies in ALL cases --- Elect N of C candidates. Legislative - such as 5 p.r. candidates in a district Executive/Judicial -- elect 1 or more candidates to the same office (multiple case might be 2 or more Sheriffs or Judges in the same area). Most discussion on the EM list is about the single winner case (which is somewhat misleading to new folks).
