How it works & assumptions

Compare each pair using the three voter groups’ full rankings. A>B votes=gA+gC, B>C votes=gA+gB, C>A votes=gB+gC.

Three fictional options and strict complete rankings. A Condorcet winner must beat every other option strictly; ties are shown explicitly.

This is an ideal mathematical model, not a measurement or a forecast.
