Assume there are three voters: A, B and C. Voter preferences can be ranked along a left-to-right spectrum that ranges from 1-9; 1 being the most left leaning preference and 9 being the most right leaning preference. Suppose these voters will choose between candidates Smith and Jones in an upcoming election. Assuming the following voter preferences: Voter ID Preference (1-9) A 4 B 5 C 6 A. True/False Explain: If the median voter theorem holds, candidates Smithand Jones will either both adopt preference 5 OR one will adopt preference 4 while the other adopts preference 6.
