election_title: "BV2286 — Ballot B (three dogs on the paper): STAR elects the Labrador"
scenario_description: >-
  Race 6 of 7 in the BV2286 "Three dogs and a cat" election (BetterVoting p2wggg).
  The same sixty voters, scoring every candidate 0-5. A dog voter can give all three
  breeds a high score, so the split that cost the dog side the seat in race 3 never
  happens: the three dogs take the top three places in the Scoring Round (Labrador 188,
  Golden Retriever 180, German Shepherd 150) with the Cat fourth on 144. The two
  leaders advance and the Automatic Runoff goes to the Labrador 34-26, with no Equal
  Support — every ballot expressed a preference between the two finalists. The Labrador
  is also the Condorcet winner, beating every rival head-to-head including the Cat
  34-26 (confirmed in race 7). Note what the runoff did that the scoring round alone
  could not: it asked which finalist more voters actually PREFER, rather than which
  collected the most generous scores.
