election_title: "Alaska 2022 US House general (reduced model) — IRV got it right: all four counts elect the Condorcet winner, Peltola"
paradoxes: [condorcet-winner]
scenario_description: |-
  A reduced 200-voter TEACHING MODEL of the November 2022 Alaska US House GENERAL
  election — the happy-ending counterpart to the August special. Same three main
  candidates (the fourth, Bye, finished last and is dropped, as Equal Vote's realrcv
  visualizer does); this is NOT the real vote data but a reconstruction of realrcv's
  own 200-dot model, matched to its stated results. First choices: Peltola 98, Palin
  52, Begich 50. RCV-IRV eliminates Begich, 11 ballots exhaust, and Peltola beats
  Palin 104-85. But THIS time the electorate had shifted and Peltola is the Condorcet
  winner (beats Begich 101-82 and Palin 104-85) — so ALL FOUR counts elect her:
  Plurality, RCV-IRV, Ranked Robin, and STAR. IRV got it right. The mirror image of
  the special (BV2213), where the same methods split 2-2 and IRV cut the Condorcet
  winner: the center-squeeze failure is real but CONDITIONAL. (Bonus: Begich leads
  STAR's score round 546 as everyone's broad 2nd choice, but Peltola wins the runoff
  101-82 — STAR self-correcting toward the majority-preferred candidate.) Scores are a
  rank->score overlay (favorite 5, 2nd 4, unranked 0). Source: Equal Vote's Real RCV,
