>>Imagine, if you will, that each candidate has a counter that is associated with them and that a vote for one increments that counter; given that model, how does voting for candidate C, over B, equate to an increase in the votes for A?<<
Imagine 2 voters.
Voter 1 votes for candidate “o”.
Voter 2 stays at home.
“o” wins 1-0.
(This is what happened.)
Like I said — simple arithmetic. 7th grade arithmetic.

I see you're ignoring the given scenario, let me reiterate it for you:
Imagine, if you will, that each candidate has a counter that is associated with them and that a vote for one increments that counter; given that model, how does voting for candidate C, over B, equate to an increase in the votes for A? Note that there is nothing therein about staying home and, in fact, deals with someone casting a vote.

Like I said — simple arithmetic. 7th grade arithmetic. The pity, it seems (according to your mathematical skill), is that you have been cursed by a public education.
