election_title: The Voting Dilemma — Skywalker & Leia split the Rebel vote
scenario_description: |-
  Matches the "THE VOTING DILEMMA" slide: you expect Skywalker and Vader to be the
  frontrunners, but you actually prefer Leia. 100 voters. A 60% Rebel majority
  prefers a Rebel (Skywalker or Leia) over the Empire's Vader — but they're split
  on which Rebel.

  Under Choose-One Plurality each voter names ONE candidate, so the Rebels split:
  Skywalker 33, Leia 27. Vader wins with just 40 — the candidate 60% ranked LAST.
  That is vote-splitting handing the seat to the minority.

  STAR lets every voter score all three 0-5, so Rebel voters can back BOTH
  Skywalker and Leia. The two highest totals advance (Leia and Skywalker), and the
  automatic runoff elects Leia — the broad consensus Rebel, and the candidate who
  beats every other head-to-head (the Condorcet winner). The one you actually
  preferred wins. Watch the [Vote-splitting check] confirm it.
