The DMC differs from the [[Condorcet Criterion|Condorcet Winner]] in one crucial respect:
:The Definite Majority Choice winner is the candidate who, when compared in turn with each of the other ''higher-approved'' candidates, is preferred over the other candidate.
We'll illustrate the method with a deliberately crude ballot and then follow with an example of other ballot possibilities.
Line 146:
In the event of a pairwise tie or near tie (say, margin within 0.01%), it is sometimes possible to proceed anyway, since another member of P may defeat the tied pair. But if there is no clear winner, ties should be handled using the same [http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Maximize_Affirmed_Majorities#Compute_Tiebreak Random Ballot] procedure as in [[Maximize Affirmed Majorities]].
