Two chapters of one club elect a single national delegate. Ana is adored in Northside and unknown in Southside; Beto is the mirror image; Cleo is everybody's solid second. Counted chapter by chapter, Cleo wins NEITHER — so a delegate chosen from the chapter winners is Ana or Beto. Counted as one electorate, Cleo wins outright, and she is also the highest-welfare candidate (33 points to Ana's 23 and Beto's 19) and the Condorcet winner. That gap is the distortion of distributed voting, made countable. Companion concept page: 07_Concepts/topics/distributed_voting_distortion.md Live on BetterVoting (Test ID BV2274): https://bettervoting.com/38b7fg/results — ONE election carries all three counts as three races. The chapter races hold all nine papers, with the other chapter's members leaving the contest blank; a blank scores 0, so every total matches this file exactly. voting_method: STAR num_winners: 1 ballots: |- Ana,Beto,Cleo 5,0,3 5,0,3 5,0,3 4,0,5 4,0,5 expected_winners: - Ana # file: b38b7fg_districting_north.yaml ====================================================================== TABULATION RESULTS ====================================================================== === Two chapters, one delegate — Northside chapter (5 members) === Part of the districting-cost trio.
