Line 21:
1 D>B
B is preferred on 2 ballots, while A is preferred 1st on 3 ballots. However, Score voting passes a related criterion: "If the number of ballots giving A the most support is greater than the number of ballots on which another candidate B is given any support, then B must not be elected." This is because candidate B can't get more points than A, since even if all voters who score B give B the maximum score, candidate A will have more ballots giving them the maximum score than B, and thus more points. <h4 class=left>Commentary</h4>
When the Plurality criterion requires that ''B'' not be elected, it means that even if all the voters who gave ''B some'' ranking were to elevate him to the top position, he would still not be the [[Plurality voting|First Preference Plurality]] winner.
