The bylaws say that the strength of a pairwise defeat is measured by the absolute number of votes for the winner of this pairwise defeat. So each defeat has a strength of 48. Therefore, there is a tie between magalski, baum, and mayer. The same would be true for the ranked pairs method. > and, lastly, do we know who would win if it were > single-winner STV (commonly called IRV in the states)? Many voters cast more than one first preference. Therefore, it is not possible to say who would have been elected under IRV.
