After determining all supporting profiles with any number of voters for any specified three-candidate pairwise majority vote outcome, a new, large class of “octahedral” probability distributions, motivated by and including IAC, is introduced to examine various three-candidate voting outcomes involving majority vote outcomes. Illustrating examples include computing each distribution’s likelihood of a majority vote cycle and the likelihood that the Borda Count and Condorcet winners agree. Surprisingly, computations often reduce to a simple exercise of finding the volumes of tetrahedrons. |
