Line 47: * In the first round, no candidate has an absolute majority of first-place votes (51). * Memphis, having the most last-place votes (26+15+17=58), is therefore eliminated. * In the second round, Memphis is out of the running, and so must be factored out. Memphis was ranked first on Group A's ballots, so the second choice of Group A, Nashville, gets an additional 42 first-place votes, giving it an absolute majority of first-place votes (68 versus 15+17=32), ~~thus~~and making it the winner. Note that the last-place votes are only used to eliminate a candidate in a voting round where no candidate achieves an absolute majority; they are disregarded in a round where a candidate has 51% or more. Thus last-place votes play no role in the final round. == Use ==
