scenario_description: |-
  One 100-voter electorate, two food-truck spots, five counts — this file is the Bloc STAR count (score ballots, two sequential STAR winners). The savory side is a 57-voter OUTRIGHT MAJORITY split across three trucks (Arepa 20 first choices, Bao 19, Churro 18); the sweet side is a disciplined 43-voter minority on two (Donut 22, Eclair 21). Same opinions on every ballot; only the counting rule changes: SNTV hands the majority ZERO seats (Donut+Eclair), Bloc STAR and Bloc Ranked Robin hand it BOTH (Arepa+Bao), STAR-PR and STV share them one per side (Arepa+Donut). THE HEADLINE HERE: score ballots cure the split (the majority's support pools across all three savory trucks) — but a BLOC count then hands 57% of the room 100% of the seats. This file also carries the engine's blocs: declaration, so the on-screen report prints the [Vote-splitting check]: 'the Savory bloc is an outright majority (57 vs Donut's 22) but split across 3 candidates, so Donut won Choose-One. STAR elected Arepa.' Majoritarian is a feature for ONE seat and a choice to make deliberately for many. Full lesson: README.md in this folder.
