  election_title: Ice cream ladder — a STAR tie in both rounds, settled without the lot (BV2180, fp62p2)
  election_description: |-
    The worked example behind the STAR tie-breaking doc (the two-round, two-ladder
    tiebreak), now a live BetterVoting election. Two voters, six flavors. Scoring
    round: Strawberry leads at 7; Chocolate, Chocolate Chip and Vanilla tie for the
    second finalist slot at 5 each. Pairwise can't separate the three (all 2), so
    the FIVE-STAR rung decides — only Chocolate Chip earned a 5, so it advances with
    Strawberry. The automatic runoff then ties 1-1 head-to-head, and the SCORE rung
    breaks it: Strawberry 7 beats Chocolate Chip 5. Winner: Strawberry. The lesson:
    STAR settles ties in BOTH rounds by DETERMINISTIC rungs (five-star, then score) —
    the pre-published lot order is never consulted, so LH and BetterVoting agree and
    the result is fully reproducible (unlike the 3-way dead heat in BV555/xmyf7k,
    which reaches the random floor). Live results: https://bettervoting.com/fp62p2/results
