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.

I answered this — your math is flawed.
