Possible FAQ: It is not possible for to express a lack of preference among multiple options simultaneously with a preference for any of those multiple options over another option? E.g., Given Buchanan, Bush, Gore, and Nader, under the Condorcet method a voter cannot express the following statement. "I prefer Nader most of all. I have no preference between Bush and Gore, but I prefer both to Buchanan." The voter will have to rank Bush above Gore or vice versa, or abandon his expression of preference for both over Buchanan.
