I simplified it so that is not strictly true, but, in a nut-shell,
these voters use bad voting systems and them complain about the bad nonsensical
results they get. I suggest better voting systems, but these ponies are as
stubborn as mules.
> No candidate is ranked in more than one ranking.
Not strictly true, but everypony can see that the results are bad and
nonsensical.

Yes, ties and bad nonsensical results.

Basically, yes. Somewhere in here is a lesson about advocacy of
electoral reform. Unfortunately, I cannot find it. It is not the 1 about
outsiders trying to tell strangers how to live their lives (I am a member of
this group). I do not know where my mistake is. If we could figure out this,
we could be better advocates of electoral reform. To quote Ditzy Doo:
