Multiple Choice
Table 22-2
Voters are deciding how they will spend the City of Elmongary's budget surplus.They have enough money to build one of three projects: build a school, build a skate park, or build a bike lane for commuters.They agree that they will have two pairwise votes to determine how to spend their budget, with the majority determining the outcome on each vote.The first, second, and third choices for each project are as indicated in the table below.
-Refer to Table 22-2.Which statement regarding the Condorcet paradox and the results of pairwise voting in Elmongary is most accurate
A) The paradox implies that pairwise voting never produces transitive preferences, and so the voting in Elmongary fails to produce transitive preferences.
B) The paradox implies that pairwise voting sometimes (but not always) produces transitive preferences, and the voting in Elmongary does produce transitive preferences.
C) The paradox implies that pairwise voting sometimes (but not always) fails to produce transitive preferences, and the voting in Elmongary fails to produce transitive preferences.
D) The paradox implies that pairwise voting almost never produces transitive preferences, but the voting in Elmongary does produce transitive preferences.
