election_title: "Center Squeeze — IRV (Hare): the center gets squeezed out"
scenario_description: |-
  One of four races in the Center Squeeze election (BV2137, bvid ywckmg; BV-confirmed). 100 voters, three candidates, ONE ranked electorate tabulated four ways. Anderson is the Condorcet winner (beats Reagan 55–45, Carter 65–35) but holds the fewest first-choices (20). IRV eliminates the low-first-choice centrist Anderson FIRST, then Carter beats Reagan 55–45. IRV → Carter, NOT the Condorcet winner.
