Source: Dan S. Felsenthal, "Review of Paradoxes Afflicting Various Voting Procedures Where One Out of m Candidates (m ≥ 2) Must Be Elected", University of Haifa / LSE, revised 26 May 2010; Appendix A2, Example 3 (the Reinforcement paradox). District II: 15 voters — 6×(Alma>Cora>Bruno), 8×(Bruno>Cora>Alma), 1×(Cora>Alma>Bruno). Bruno is ranked first by an absolute majority (8 of 15) and wins in the first round; no runoff is needed. Bruno is also this district's Condorcet winner (beats Alma 8–7, Cora 8–7). Bruno wins District I too (BV2147) — yet the amalgamated electorate (BV2149) elects Alma under the same procedure.

FINAL RESULT Candidate Votes Status ----------- ------- -------- Bruno 8 Elected Alma 6 Rejected Cora 1 Rejected Winner(s) — RCV / Instant-Runoff Voting (single winner) Bruno --- Smith Set (the generalized Condorcet winner) --- The smallest group whose every member beats every candidate outside it — the honest answer to "who is even in contention?". Smith set (1 of 3): Bruno Outside (2): Alma, Cora One member ⇒ Bruno is the Condorcet winner, beating every rival head-to-head. RCV-IRV winner Bruno is INSIDE the Smith set. ✓ Not guaranteed — RCV-IRV is not Smith-efficient — but it holds here. More: 07_Concepts/topics/smith_set.md
