She? Regardless, that is the simplest way to state why PoD won. While I'm here though, perhaps an explanation of those nifty matrixes would be enlightening:
| PoD | Soly | SD | |
PoD | 0 | 17 | 13 |
Soly | 7 | 0 | 7 |
SD | 12 | 17 | 0 |
The matrix above is
Left beats Top (that is to say, the Candidates on the left are classed as runners and the candidates on the top are classed as opponents). Thus,
each numerical value simply represents the number of ballots cast in which the candidate to the left beat (was ranked higher than) the candidate on the top. So, for example, we can tell that 13 ballots were cast ranking PoD over Dixie. Using this info, we can then determine the winner of any pairwise contest between two candidates. For example, a contest between PoD and Dixie one on one, we can see that 13 voters preferred Pod to Dixie, and 12 preferred Dixie to Pod. As More ranked Pod over Dixe, Pod wins the pairwise contest between him and Dixie. Likewise, he wins the pairwise contest with Soly, and as he beats each other candidate one on one he is the Condorcet winner.
The other table summarizes the final results. The number is the margin of votes between the two candidates in the pairwise contest, with blue numbers representing victory for the candidate at left and red victory for the candidate at the top. As all of the results to the right of PoD are blue, he is the winner. Likewise, all of the results under his name on the top are red.
| PoD | Soly | SD | |
PoD | 0 | 10 | 1 |
Soly | -10 | 0 | -10 |
SD | -1 | 10 | 0 |
Some spaces are left blank because a candidate cannot run again themselves. That matrix itself is found by simply stacking the individual matrix for each ballot.
