Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a Borda count, each position a candidate holds on a voter's preference list earns them a certain number of points: the first choice earns the most points, and the last choice earns the least. With the given preferences, no rearrangement of the voter on the left's rankings can produce a tie because the points awarded based on the positions will always result in a difference in the total points for each candidate.
