Line 28:
'''4<sup>th</sup> Degree:''' If there is still a tie after the '''3<sup>rd</sup> Degree''' tiebreaker, it is unlikely that the '''4<sup>th</sup> Degree''' tiebreaker will break that tie, as it will only work if the tied candidates have matchup losses against other candidates. Find the shortest [[beatpath]] from each tied candidate to each other tied candidate. For each tied candidate, for each shortest beatpath to another tied candidate, for each pairwise victory in the beatpath, subtract the number of ballots on which the losing candidate was preferred over the winning candidate from the number of ballots on which the winning candidate was preferred over the losing candidate. Sum these differences within each selected beatpath to get the total strength of each selected beatpath. Sum each tied candidate's total beatpath strengths over other tied candidates. Elect the tied candidate with the greatest sum of beatpath strengths. If there are multiple shortest beatpaths from one tied candidate to another, select the one with the lowest total strength.
