election_title: "Bloc STAR — one voter fills a two-seat council"

scenario_description: |-
  The smallest Bloc STAR election that can be written down: one ballot, three
  candidates, two seats. There is no arithmetic to do, which is the point — it
  shows the MECHANISM with nothing else in the way.

  Bloc STAR is single-winner STAR run once per seat, with the winner removed
  each time and every ballot still counting at full weight.

    - Seat 1: scores Ada 5, Ben 3, Cara 0. Ada and Ben are the finalists; the
      one voter prefers Ada, so Ada wins the runoff 1-0.
    - Seat 2: Ada is removed and the SAME ballot is counted again. Ben 3,
      Cara 0. Ben wins the runoff 1-0.

  Council: Ada and Ben. No rung of the tie-break ladder is consulted.

  Read it as the definition, not as an election: one voter's ranking becomes the
  whole council, in order. Every other case in this folder is this same loop with
  more voters disagreeing inside it.
