Methods that produce Condorcet rankings include [[Kemeny-Young]] and [[Ranked Pairs]]; methods that produce Smith rankings include [[Pairwise Sorted Methods]].
 
Smith or Condorcet rankings can be visualized in the following form:

With generalized Smith rankings in particular, some rows would have to be groups of candidates, rather than solely individual candidates. Hypothetical example:

# Wright – defeats all candidates below, including Smith (3,975 to 3,793)
# Smith – defeats Simpson (5,573 to 721) and the write-in candidates
# Simpson – defeats only the write-in candidates (3,338 to 165 for all write-in candidates combined)
 
Montroll was therefore preferred over Kiss by 54% of voters
 
=== Hypothetical results under various voting systems ===
The winner under other voting methods can be deduced, assuming the electorate did not employ [[tactical voting]] in any case:
 
* Wright would have won under [[Plurality voting|plurality]].
* Kiss won under [[Instant-runoff voting|IRV]], and would have won under a [[two-round system]] vs Wright
 
This makes it more ambiguous as to how to record the exact margins of each pairwise matchup, as even if all candidates in a group of candidates pairwise beat all candidates not in the group, they may each do so with different margins.<br />
