@PattyHanson The reason why is that the conference's voting system acted as a sequence of runoff votes, but perversely selected the loser to advance until the most recent vote. Rather than admit that he doesn't have the votes (and allow the process to select the loser once more), Jordan is allowing the remainder to conform by exhaustion from the very crisis that he has fueled through his own unwillingness to conform.

IMO score voting would identify the real majority winner.
