There's strategy at play in the FPP ballot. or 2. People aren't voting consistently between the ballots, based on their own preferences. Those are the only two explanations for why Mitch gets the most 'firsts' in the FPP ballot, yet less in the Condorcet one. Rory also becomes a significant threat in the Condorcet ballot, almost edging out Katie, while in the FPP ballot, he's a Nader. What’s funny here is that either:
