== Variants: ways of dealing with equal rankings (see STV page) ==

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 ~~three orders of~~ [[Random Voter Hierarchy]] (RVH). The result changes as C reaches the border of a majority, going from a three way tie to a win by C.

Line 214:

With C claiming the better rank in ~~the 1st order~~, C wins.

With C claiming the better rank in RVH, C wins.

With A claiming the better rank ~~in the 1st order~~, it is a three way tie.

With A claiming the better rank, it is a three way tie.

When one or more votes honestly change from A>C to A=C, C wins regardless of rank within the ~~1st order~~. Alternatively, when one or more votes honestly change from A=C to A>C, it’s a three way tie regardless of rank within the ~~1st order (with the winner decided using a 3rd order of~~ RVH).

When one or more votes honestly change from A>C to A=C, C wins regardless of rank within the RVH. Alternatively, when one or more votes honestly change from A=C to A>C, it’s a three way tie regardless of rank within the RVH.

Line 229:

The winner is whichever of A, B or C claims the best ranking in the ~~1st order of~~ RVH.

The winner is whichever of A, B or C claims the best ranking in the RVH.
