Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the preferences of the voters, in the first election between Barb and William, Barb would win. Then, in the second election between Barb and Fred, it is not specified which candidate Don and Luanne would choose, but since Heather prefers Fred over Barb, it can be assumed that Fred would win overall. Therefore, the winner would be Barb in the first election and Fred in the second election, making the overall winner Fred.
