'''Pairwise counting''' is the process of considering a set of items, comparing one pair of items at a time, and for each pair counting the comparison results.
Line 298 ⟶ 297:

See the [[Order theory#Strength of preference]] article for more information. Essentially, instead of doing a pairwise matchup on the basis that a voter must give one vote to either candidate in the matchup or none whatsoever, a voter could be allowed to give something in between (a partial vote) or even one vote to both candidates in the matchup (which has the same effect on deciding which of them wins the matchup as giving neither of them a vote, as it does not help one of them get more votes than the other).
