Preference Schedule

A Borda count assigns points to each candidate. A candidate gets 5 points for every first-place vote, 4 points for every second-place vote, 3 points for every third-place vote, 2 points for every fourth-place vote, and 1 point for every fifth-place vote. For example, the point total for Molson would be calculated as follows:

Total is 127 for Molson.

The winner is simply the candidate with the highest point total.
