Line 43:
Borda scores are A 185, B 205, C 210. A beats B beats C beats A, so there is no Condorcet winner, and so A, the Borda loser, is eliminated. Since B beats C, B wins. Note that this is a different result than [[Black's method]], which would elect C. They are both related to [[Nanson's method]].
== Example ==
{{Tenn voting example}}This gives the following points table:
{| class="wikitable" style="border:none"
! {{diagonal split header|Candidate|Voters}}
!Memphis
!Nashville
!Knoxville
!Chattanooga
| rowspan="5" style="border: none; background: white;" |
!Score

!Memphis
|42×3=126

!Chattanooga
|42×1 = 42
|26×2 = 52
|17×2 = 34
|15×3 = 45
|173
|}
Knoxville has the least amount of points, so it is eliminated.
We now have this table:
{| class="wikitable" style="border:none"
! {{diagonal split header|Candidate|Voters}}
!Memphis
!Nashville
!Knoxville
!Chattanooga
| rowspan="4" style="border: none; background: white;" |
!Score

!Memphis
|42×2 = 84

!Nashville
|42×1 = 42
|26×2 = 52
|17×1 = 17
|15×1 = 15
|126
|-
!Chattanooga
|0
|26×1 = 26
|17×2 = 34
|15×2 = 30
|90
|}
Now Memphis is eliminated.
This leaves us with Nashville and Chattanooga. Nashville has 42+26 points, giving it 68 points, while Chattanooga has 17+15 points giving it 32. This makes Nashville the winner.
