[Bertrand de La Chapelle]

Dear Luc, dear all,

Now I'm not sure I understand Bertrand's proposal. What happens in the case
we have the following situation where V are voters and A, B and C the 3
candidates ?

 V ABC
1 xx
2  xx
3 x x
4 xx

Short answer : As mentionned in my initial mail, if there are two candidates
that get the same amount of votes in the second round, then the one that got
the most in the first round gets selected.

Best

Bertrand
