Line 16:
35 C>A| >B
There is an A>B>C>A cycle, with the approvals being A 60, B 65, and C 75. C is elected for having the most approvals in the Smith set. The easiest way for A-top voters to get someone they prefer to C under regular Smith//Approval is for at least 11 of them to swap A and B, making B a [[Condorcet winner]]. With a modification of the tied at the top rule, they could instead vote A=B, and this would yield a matchup of 49 votes for A, 40 for B, and 11 tied votes. Since the 11 tied votes is greater than the margin of 9 votes, the matchup could simply be dropped, meaning that B becomes a CW because B pairwise beats C. N
Note that C-top voters can vote C=A to make A have no pairwise defeats toothat , so A and B would both be in the Smith set, wistill th B winning with 65 approvals to A's 60.
