→Variants: ways of dealing with equal rankings (see STV page)
Line 203:
For discussion, I offer this alternative. The following example (amending the example given) clearly shows how my improvement of IRV deals with equal rankings using [[Random Voter Hierarchy]] (RVH) which is described on the IRV page as "Randomly determine a strict ordering of the candidates and when selecting a candidate to eliminate, pick one based on this strict ordering". I would also apply this ordering in dealing with equal rankings.
The result changes as C reaches the border of a majority, going from a three way cyclical tie to a win by C.
Line 218:
With C claiming the better rank in RVH, C wins.
With A claiming the better rank, it is a three way cyclical tie which will also needs a RVH to decide who wins.
