{{wikipedia}}'''Nanson's method''' is a electoral method devised by mathematician Edward J. Nanson in 1882. In this method in every round all candidates that are on or beneath the average Borda score are eliminated each round, and the ballots are recounted as if those candidates never were on the ballot,

As there were a total of 600 Borda points, and 600/4 = 150, we eliminate Memphis and Knoxville. This leaves us with Nashville and Chattanooga, which have 68 and 32 points respectively. This means Nashville wins.
