Line 26:
The system disadvantages minority groups who share some preferences with the majority. In terms of [[tactical voting]], it is therefore highly desirable to withhold approval from candidates who are likely to be elected in any case, as with [[cumulative voting]] and the [[single non-transferable vote]].
== Example ==
2 seats to be filled, four candidates: Andrea (A), Brad (B), Carter (C), and Delilah (D). The ballots are:
* 5: AB
* 17: AC
* 8: D
There are 6 possible results: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, and CD.
