Scenario¶

One of the four races in the BV2132 "Pet poll" (BetterVoting election ykjjhy). This is the Approval race: each voter approves any number of pets (1 = approve). Cat is approved by everyone except the pure Dog bloc — 22 approvals — so Approval elects Cat, the broadly-acceptable consensus candidate (and Condorcet winner). Same electorate as the Plurality race (Dog wins) and the RCV-IRV race (Fish wins). BV also elects Cat. Live results: https://bettervoting.com/ykjjhy/results

Row 1 = candidate names; each later row is one voter's approvals (1 = approve, 0/blank = not approved).
