I don't believe that's true, or that any simple transformation of the vote
process can make that true.  The casting vote is not used to break numeric
ties.  It's used to select a winning option from the Schwartz set.  Given
how Condorcet works, I don't believe there is a way to ensure the Schwartz
set always has only one member by manipulating the number of voters.
