The Conjoined Twins Candidates part II

And now, the rest of the story--what the voters got wrong

In the previous post, I recounted the story of the conjoined twins who ran as separate candidates in an election.

That story was designed to show why I see ranked-choice voting and plurality voting as fundamentally the same voting method, MinVoting methods.

But throughout the story, “the voters” made erroneous cognitive leaps in the logic, and in this article, I want to pick those apart.

In the story, conjoined twins Ann and Betty run separately in an election.

When Ann received thirty-three votes, Betty received thirty-one, and Carol received thirty-six, something looked wrong to some of the voters.
