Imagine that Tennessee is having an election on the location of its capital. The population of Tennessee is concentrated around its four major cities, which are spread throughout the state. For this example, suppose that the entire electorate lives in these four cities, and that everyone wants to live as near the capital as possible.
The candidates for the capital are:
- Memphis on Wikipedia
, the state's largest city, with 42% of the voters, but located far from the other cities
- Nashville on Wikipedia
, with 26% of the voters, near the center of Tennessee
- Knoxville on Wikipedia
, with 17% of the voters
- Chattanooga on Wikipedia
, with 15% of the voters
The preferences of the voters would be divided like this:
| 42% of voters (close to Memphis) |
26% of voters (close to Nashville) |
15% of voters (close to Chattanooga) |
17% of voters (close to Knoxville) |
|---|---|---|---|
