election_title: "FairVote white paper — Washington 2010 (BURIAL): the squeeze works on STAR, but IRV resists it"

scenario_description: |-
  The coordinated squeeze from FairVote's white paper: the Harper faction, to unseat the
  moderate Berkey, scores Harper 5, the conservative Rieger 4, and Berkey 0 — inflating
  Rieger to push Berkey below him. Same voters/first-choices as wa_2010_honest. It works
  under STAR: Berkey collapses to 225 and misses the runoff (Rieger 320, Harper 305),
  and STAR elects Harper — FairVote's claim, CONCEDED. But the honest full picture matters
  (see ../README.md): honest STAR elects Berkey; the burial requires the Harper faction to
  rate the conservative Rieger a 4 (a risky move that could elect Rieger outright in a
  redder electorate); AND RCV-IRV on these very strategic ballots STILL elects Berkey,
  because Rieger's transfers flow back to her. So this case cuts fairly: STAR is
  manipulable here and IRV happens to resist THIS burial — but IRV squeezes centrists
  under sincere voting (its systematic flaw), where STAR needs a conspiracy. Concept: ../README.md.
video_script: |-
  The squeeze: Harper's faction buries Berkey at 0 and lifts the conservative Rieger to 4.
  Under STAR it works — Berkey drops out, Harper wins. FairVote's right. And here's the
  honest kicker we won't hide: RCV-IRV on these same ballots still elects Berkey. One
  case, told straight — STAR fell for a coordinated lie that IRV happened to resist. The
  difference that matters: IRV squeezes the center when voters are HONEST.
