3. Any (non-default) option which does not defeat the default option
by its required majority ratio is dropped from consideration.
a. Given two options A and B, V(A,B) is the number of voters
who prefer option A over option B.
b. An option A defeats the default option D by a majority
ratio N, if V(A,D) is strictly greater than N * V(D,A).
c. If a supermajority of S:1 is required for A, its majority ratio
is S; otherwise, its majority ratio is 1.
3(a) V(A,C) = 69, V(C,A) = 31
3(c) A supermajority is not required for C, so its majority ratio is 1.
3(b) V(C,A) = 31, which is not strictly greater than 1 * V(A,C), so option
C does not defeat option A by its majority ratio.
3 C is dropped from consideration.
