The Condorcet Method
By: Haley and Hannah
Condorcet Method
This is determining the winner of each of the possible one-on-one election among the candidates. The Condorcet winner is the candidate that beats all of its opponents.
Example
If you are trying to figure out who won apples , bananas, carrot, or dates you have to compare them and see how many votes there are.
# of votes-----------preference order
17 a>b>c>d
11 b>c>d>a
8 d>c>a>b
5 a>c>d>b
2 d>a>b>c
Now you have to compare them.
a vs. b
a vs. c
a vs. d
b vs. c
b vs. d
c vs. d
if you compare a of them you would see that:
a beats b, a beats c, a beats d, b beats c, b beats d, and c beats d.
from this information you are able to tell that a is the Condorcet winner because it beat all of its opponents.
