*Correction: The ballots at 1:20 were labeled incorrectly. At 1:20 the top ballot should read 1 Green, 2 Blue and 3 Purple and the bottom ballot should read 2 Green, 3 Blue and 1 Purple. Thank you to Hoarder who first noted this.

*Correction: What's stated is the converse of the Condorcet Criterion. Oops - Stating conditionals can be tricky! For more details, see: Reddit: diyft53
