Line 271:
When ignoring struckthrough (non-locked in) pairwise victories, C is the only candidate with no pairwise defeats, and thus is the RP winner. The RP ranking is C>A>B, since C pairwise beats all others, A pairwise beats everyone except C, and B pairwise loses to everyone (when ignoring the defeats ignored by the RP procedure).
Ranked Pairs is [[Smith-efficient]], because no Smith set member can be beaten by a candidate not in the Smith set, and therefore any candidate not in the Smith set can't have their defeats to Smith set members discarded during the RP procedure, so they can't become the Condorcet winner.
Ranked Pairs passes the [[Independence of Smith-dominated Alternatives]] criterion. Because of this, all candidates not in the Smith set can be eliminated before starting the procedure, reducing the number of operations needed to be done to find the winner. In addition, Ranked Pairs, like [[Schulze]], is equivalent to [[Minimax]] when there are 3 or fewer candidates with no pairwise ties between them, so if the Smith set has 3 or fewer candidates in it with no pairwise ties between them, [[Smith//Minimax]] can be run instead to find the RP winner. ▼
▲Ranked Pairs passes the [[Independence of Smith-dominated Alternatives]] criterion, because the only cycles for RP to potentially resolve will always be between Smith set members.
