Line 15:
Memphis wins with 42% probability, Nashville with 26%, Chattanooga 15%, and Knoxville 17%. If the Knoxville voters had instead ranked Knoxville and Chattanooga equally, then Knoxville would win with 0% probability, since it would be impossible to draw a ballot which prefers Knoxville to Chattanooga.
== Notes ==
Interestingly, RB is one of the only single-winner voting methods that is on average a [[proportional]] voting method when used in single-winner districts. If, for example, 30% of the voters across a nation vote for Green Party candidates, then on average 30% of the district winners will be Greens.
The concept of RB can be applied to other voting methods. For example, [[rated ballot]]<nowiki/>s could be used to give candidates a probability of winning proportional to the scores on the randomly drawn ballot.
