Thanks Kristofer for the explanations. Do you know a good place that discusses the Ranked Pairs method of resolving cycles, or all the methods of resolving cycles?
Wikipedia. maybe start with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Voting_systems and see what you find from there.
I would still like an example of a spoiler in Condorcet no matter how unlikely if possible.
the spoiler would have to either push a nicely resolved election with a CW into a cycle and have the cycle resolved so that the earlier CW does not win or, if the election was in a cycle in the first place (but resolved to pick some winner), the spoiler would have to cause the election algorithm to choose a different winner (and not the spoiler).
