election_title: The control case — here the runoff CONFIRMS the score leader
scenario_description: |-
  Same machinery, opposite result — and that's the point. Blue is both the biggest
  star pile (14) AND the majority's preferred finalist, so the automatic runoff
  simply confirms the scoring leader: Blue wins either way.

  This is why STAR's runoff isn't "rigged against front-runners." It only overturns
  the leader when the star total and the head-to-head majority disagree (01a-03);
  when the leader really is the most-preferred candidate, the leader wins.
