election_title: "Alaska 2022 (Begich buried) — a manufactured cycle; margin methods resist, TTR/Hare doesn't"
scenario_description: |-
  The same electorate, but 20 of the 50 Peltola>Begich>Palin voters BURY Begich —
  insincerely ranking him last (Peltola>Palin>Begich). That single move flips the
  Begich-vs-Palin pairwise from Begich +39 to Palin +1, creating a Condorcet cycle
  (Begich>Peltola>Palin>Begich, no Condorcet winner). Now the completion methods
  DIVERGE: MinMax / Schulze / Ranked Pairs (margin-based) drop Palin's weak +1
  defeat and still elect Begich — the burial FAILS. But Condorcet-Hare / Condorcet-
  Top-Two-Runoff (= RCV-IRV in a 3-way cycle) elects Peltola — the burial SUCCEEDS.
  rb-j's point: even Condorcet methods can be gamed by burial, and margin-based
  completion resists it far better than a runoff/Hare completion.
