Sez anybody. You get this behavior by using Margins or half-votes (which are
the same thing). You can't by using WV.
Here's an example.
Election 1
1 A>B
1 A>B
1 B>A
Election 2
1 A>B
1 A=B
1 A=B
With Margins, A beats B in both elections with strength 1. With half-votes, it is
strength 2.
With WV, in election 1 A beats B with strength 2, while in election 2, A beats B with
strength 1.
So Margins treated A>B and B>A the same as two A=B, while WV did not.
