Pairwise Voting Results

The /v/GAs use a preferential voting system (specifically, the Schulze method) to calculate results. This allows us to more accurately determine the winner and runner-ups.

Below is the data we used to calculate the rankings. Each row contains the number of people who preferred that nominee to the nominee in each column. The winner is the nominee that was preferred more than any other nominee.
