where this reads that the first voter had preferences "Alice" over "Bob" over "Charlie", the second voter "Bob" over "Alice" over "Charlie", etc.

<h3>Output: Smith Set Format</h3>
<p>The form will return a list of the Smith-set winners sorted lexicographically (they are all equally good majority winners).
