Some rank two candidates as equal first choices, some rank two as equal second choices, and the rest have no equal rankings. (There are 12 possible orderings.) ---- D- did 40 simulations. Results- 37 Condorcet winners (in 1 case, there was a tie vote for the third pairing), 3 circular ties Average winning percent of all winners- 57.4 (range 50.1 to 74.4) 24.0 percent of the voters voted a A>B=C type vote (range 3.7 to 48.0 percent of all voters) 25.3 percent of the voters voted a A=B>C type vote (range 6.5 to 40.5 percent of all voters) 50.7 percent of the voters voted a ABC type vote (range 37.0 to 72.4 percent) Again, such 24.0, 25.3 and 50.7 split is highly suspect in a real election.
