Source: Dan S. Felsenthal (2010), Appendix A3, Example 5, due to Felsenthal & Maoz (1988: 123, Example 2) — see bv2152_r6ctvy_approval.yaml for the setup. The same 47 voters' full rankings counted by Ranked Robin (Copeland): Bert wins both head-to-heads (Anna 27–20, Carla 32–15) — the Condorcet winner, elected directly. The approval race loses him because 18 Anna-only and 13 Carla-only voters draw their approval line above Bert even while ranking him second.

Smith set (1 of 3): Bert Outside (2): Anna, Carla One member ⇒ Bert is the Condorcet winner, beating every rival head-to-head. Ranked Robin (RCV-RR) winner Bert is INSIDE the Smith set. ✓ Guaranteed: Ranked Robin (Copeland) is Smith-efficient — every member of the set outscores every outsider, so the top of the win–loss table is always inside the set, however the tie among them is then broken.
