Look at the pairwise race between S and A. The percentage of votes received by S in this race will be the Compromise Level. In this case, in the race between L and C, L receives 51% of the votes. (In races where equal rankings are allowed, we must choose whether to count 1, 0.5, or 0 votes for S when a ballot says S=A; no examination has been made of how this choice affects outcomes.) |

We break the electorate into two groups: those whose ballots rank S>A, and those who rank S<A. (Again, if equal rankings are permitted we must decide whether to include voters saying S=A in one of the groups, count them as half-votes in each group, or not count them in this phase at all.) To win, A must receive approval from a percentage exceeding the Compromise Level. In the example above, we see... |

Among voters who say L>C, A receives 36/51 = 70.6% approval, which exceeds the 51% Compromise Level. |
