center_squeeze_bv2137 — one electorate, four tabulations (center squeeze)

The textbook center squeeze from Robert LeGrand's ranked-ballot calculator, reproduced on BetterVoting (election ywckmg, Test ID BV2137). 100 voters rank three candidates; the centrist Anderson is the Condorcet winner but has the fewest first-choices, so IRV/STV eliminate him and elect Carter, while Ranked Robin and STAR elect Anderson.

Read the lesson: bv2137_ywckmg_center_squeeze.md — the four-way result, the LeGrand ↔ pref_voting ↔ LH ↔ BV agreement table, and the rank→score conversion.
