B is the Plurality Winner.
Why is B NOT the majority winner?

anonymous · Answer

cuz B received less than 50% of votes

tkhunny · Answer

There you have it.  You are getting it.  Good work.

anonymous · Answer

So, now if i wanted to find the winner by a runoff of the top two candidates.

tkhunny · Answer

C must go!!!  And all his votes with him!

anonymous · Answer

so we can eliminate A

tkhunny · Answer

"A"?  Why?

anonymous · Answer

cuz u said he has to go

tkhunny · Answer

I said "C".

anonymous · Answer

oh candidate A can be eliminated (c)

tkhunny · Answer

You're just not making any sense.  More sleep, maybe?  That's where I'm headed.

anonymous · Answer

No i just need it to be explained.

tkhunny · Answer

I say "Eliminate C" and you say, "Okay, I eliminated A".  That can't make sense.  When you eliminate C, because C received the fewest 1st place votes, we can talk.

anonymous · Answer

okay eliminated C
