election_title: "BV2278 — Kissel's five-way example (Choose-One): A wins on 30.6%"
scenario_description: >-
  The Choose-One (Plurality) race of BV2278 (BetterVoting election 8cdkkc) — the same
  1000-voter field as the IRV, Ranked Robin and STAR races, with every voter marking
  only their first choice. A wins with 306, or 30.6%: the paper's own ">30%" line,
  and the number the whole example is built around. Nearly 70% of the electorate
  preferred someone else, and the candidate they actually agree on — C, the moderate
  who beats A 511-489 and B 700-300 — finishes THIRD here with 202. This race is why
  the paper is looking for a better count at all; the argument of the case is that
  the count it proposes (batch-eliminate to the top two) still lands on A.
