 With 3 candidates and 2 voters, who win(s) such cases:

A and BCA ? Tie A=B or B wins?

In this case, A ties B, B beats C by 1, and A ties C. When applying ranked
pairs, first B vs. C is applied, which basically knocks out C, but there's
no further knockout possible, so it's a tie between A and B.
