Because of the tie, the software arbitrarily chooses <code>'Red'</code>(though <code>'Blue'</code> may be arbitrarily chosen with the method in a different software implementation).

If [[Ballot#Approval ballot|approval ballots]] are used, this method reduces to [[sequential proportional approval voting|sequential proportional approval voting ("SPAV")]]. An arguably more natural extension of "SPAV" to score ballots is [[single distributed vote]]. These systems are very similar.
