Summary
This is an example of an election on a 2-dimensional political spectrum (Political Compass, Nolan chart, Pournelle chart, etc.) The voters are the blue dots, and candidates are the red dots, and voters support the candidates who are most similar to them ideologically (nearest distance).
C, a partisan candidate, wins under first-past-the-post voting, since A and B split the votes of the left wing of the electorate.
A, another partisan candidate, wins under Instant-Runoff Voting ("Ranked-Choice Voting"), after B is eliminated for not having enough first-preference votes, leaving A and C (and A is slightly closer to the center).
B, a moderate candidate, and the best representative of the average voter, wins under Score Voting, as they are the highest-rated overall by the voters.
