Scenario¶

One of four races in the BV2133 "Pet poll II" (BetterVoting election dyxrbr). Choose-one Plurality: Dog has the most first choices (13 of 32) and wins — even though the other 19 voters rank Dog LAST. Classic first-past-the-post: a polarizing plurality beats broadly-liked rivals. Same electorate as the RCV-IRV race (Fish), Approval race (Bird) and STAR race (Cat): four methods, four winners. BV also elects Dog. Live results: https://bettervoting.com/dyxrbr/results
