In a certain process, there are millions of people voting for thousands of candidates. The top N will be declared winners. But the counting process is flawed and with probability 'p', a vote will be miscounted. (it might be counted for the wrong candidate or it might be counted for a non-existent

The case is very much like case B. A relatively small percent of candidates (maybe about 15%) will have a significant number of votes. A large number of candidates will have only 1 or 2 votes. It is the case that each voter gets only one vote. It is possible (but non trivial) to estimate the
