If option 1 (or several options at the left side of that vote) were the only ranked options on a ballot, it is hard to believe that not ranking option 8 above option 6 was intended. Regarding the majority criteria they might have voted 1------2 With Condorcet not ranking among other options is a waste of part of your vote. People preferring option 1 likely considered option 2 tolerable and clearly better than options like option 6, which would result in ballots like for example 13-----2 12-----3 12345--6 13456782 > WBR, wRAR cu Adrian
