Majority Choice Approval: Difference between revisions

Various strategy attempts are possible in this scenario, but all would likely fail. If the eastern and western halves of the state both strategically refused to approve each other, in an attempt by the eastern half to pick Chatanooga, Nashville would still win. If Memphis, Nashville, and Chatanooga all bullet-voted in the hopes of winning, most Knoxville voters would probably extend approval as far as Nashville to prevent a win by Memphis, and/or at least a few Memphis voters (>8% overall, out of 42%) would approve Nashville to stop Chatanooga from winning. Either one of these secondary groups would be enough to ensure a Nashville win in any of the MCA variants. OnlyIt would take a conjunction of four separate conditions for Chatanooga to plausibly win: it could happen only if Knoxville voters also preferred Chatanooga, and Nashville voters (un-strategically) approved Chatanooga, and no Memphis voters preferred Nashville, and the MCA-P variant were used, could Chatanooga plausibly win.
