Talk:Condorcet paradox: Difference between revisions

However, IRV would elect A if 3 supporters moved over to C (voter betrayal to succeed). Obviously, facing defeat, A has every reason to try, but supporters of A may not. Rather than do that calculated 3 vote move to make a tie, voters should be able to simply vote for a 3 way tie without betraying anyone they voted for.

YouA still needneeds at least three voters to cast A>C to getfor the tie. Voters have to wonder why youA areis so desperate as to ask.

Why change your vote to get into a tie when you are ahead? All A needs to win is one more vote. Get 1 vote from B>A to become A>B, or 1 vote from C>B to become C>A>B. All you need is for your candidate to prove yourselfthemselves better than the rest. That’s what voters want to see in an election.
