In pairwise majority voting, each candidate is matched against another, and the one with the majority of votes wins. If Brown is put up against Jones, and Brown wins, then Brown faces Smith. If Smith wins against Brown, Smith then faces Thomas. If Smith wins against Thomas, Smith is the overall winner.
