Suppose that Tennessee is: holding an election on the location of its capital. The population is concentrated around four major cities. All voters want the capital——to be, as close——to them as possible. The options are:
- Memphis, the largest city. But far from the others (42% of voters)
- Nashville, near the center of the state (26% of voters)
- Chattanooga, somewhat east (15% of voters)
- Knoxville, far to the northeast (17% of voters)
The preferences of each region's voters are:
| 42% of voters Far-West |
26% of voters Center |
15% of voters Center-East |
17% of voters Far-East |
