26 A>B 25 B>A 49 C Mutual Majority elects {A,B} Now add 5 A bullet votes: 26 A>B 25 B>A 49 C 5 A Now Mutual Majority elects {A,B,C}. ----------------------------------- I guess I don't understand "mutual majority", then, because after adding 5 votes it takes 53 votes to have a majority, and only A has a majority. B is 51/105 and C is 45/105. Five bullet-votes for A appear to change (A,B) to (A). ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
