election_title: Quorum FAILS — won the count, but not elected
scenario_description: |-
  The SAME six ballots as `quorum_demo_c3_b6.yaml` (Anna wins the tabulation) —
  only the assumed electorate changes, and now no one is elected.

  A made-up-for-teaching rule (NOT how real quorum works — a real election uses
  the actual registered electorate): pretend the electorate is the turnout plus
  another 100%, i.e. eligible_voters = 6 cast × 2 = 12. The default quorum is a
  majority (>50%) of eligible voters, so it needs more than 6 — at least 7.

  Exactly 6 of 12 turn out: 50%. A quorum is a *strict* majority, so 50% is not
  enough — it fails by one. Anna still wins the count, but the election is
  invalid for lack of turnout, so the engine declares NO WINNER. "Winning the
  vote" and "being elected" are different things when a quorum isn't met.
