I reply: Your example is geometrically consistent, but it does not meet the other requirement that I specified ... that each candidate has only one published list. In other words, some of your voters are not located at a candidate position. If you read my original message again, you will see that I made that specification more than once, since the "selecting a published ordering" topic went beyond that, and I didn't want to give the impression that it applied in the case of other sets of published orderings.
