Well, actually what I think is more unlikely about that classic example is that anyone with only 3% of first choice votes would be a totally unanimous choice for second choice. In general, it seems unlikely for any candidate to be either the first or second choice of every single voter. James ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
