{{Tenn_voting_example}}
Consider the ranking Nashville>Chattanooga>Knoxville>Memphis. This ranking contains 6 orderings of pairs of candidates:
* Nashville>Chattanooga, for which 32% of the voters disagree.
* Nashville>Knoxville, for which 32% of the voters disagree.
* Nashville>Memphis, for which 42% of the voters disagree.
* Chattanooga>Knoxville, for which 17% of the voters disagree.
* Chattanooga>Memphis, for which 42% of the voters disagree.
* Knoxville>Memphis, for which 42% of the voters disagree.
The distance score for this ranking is 207.
It can be shown that this ranking is the one with the lowest distance score. Therefore, the winning ranking is Nashville>Chattanooga>Knoxville>Memphis, and so the winning candidate is Nashville.
