election_title: "FairVote white paper — Washington 2010 (HONEST): STAR elects the moderate Berkey"

scenario_description: |-
  FairVote's white paper cites the real 2010 Washington State Senate race — moderate
  Democrat Jean Berkey, progressive Nick Harper, and long-shot conservative Rod Rieger,
  where union-backed groups boosted Rieger to squeeze Berkey out — as a case STAR would
  make "even easier" to manipulate. This is the HONEST half: scored sincerely, STAR
  elects Berkey, the moderate and Condorcet winner (she beats Harper 60-40 head-to-head
  and Rieger too), scoring round Berkey 385, runoff 60-40. RCV-IRV also elects Berkey.
  The companion wa_2010_strategic shows the burial FairVote describes (Harper voters
  score Harper 5, Rieger 4, Berkey 0) squeezing Berkey out under STAR — conceded — while,
  notably, RCV-IRV on those same strategic ballots STILL elects Berkey. Concept: ../README.md.
video_script: |-
  Honest count first: the moderate Berkey wins — she's everyone's acceptable second and
  beats both rivals one-on-one. STAR got it right. The next file is the squeeze FairVote
  describes, and it's a useful test of the fairness of the whole comparison.
