If the conditional YES notion is applied to the standard circular tie - 34 ABC 33 BCA 32 CAB
99 AND IF the first two places are deemed YES votes AND since there are no XY/YX groups in such first two places, there would be in such first 2 places--- A 66 B 67 C 65. If, however, there are lurking clones --- such as Z --- a 100 percent clone of Z --there would be 34 AZBC 33 BCAZ 32 CAZB 99 The first 2 places would be- A 66 Z 34 B 33 C 65. Thus, as should be obvious, 100 percent clones cause major distortions. On the other hand, it would seem that it is NOT possible to determine the nature of a choice that is less than a 100 percent clone. This goes back to having just two choices only. N1 A > B N2 B > A Which choice might be deemed a partial clone of the other choice (in the minds of some/ many voters) ??? This brings up, again, the YES/ NO notion which might be applied to both A and B in some/ many cases -- i.e. the 4 possible cases - A YES, B YES A YES, B NO B YES, A YES B YES, A NO To what extent is a defeated choice (or ANY later choice having 3 or more choices) a clone of a winning/ earlier choice ??? Especially with perhaps 4 or more choices for a major office such as U.S.A. President ??? What would the *average* John/Mary Q. Citizen-Voter think about the various possibilities ???
