As part of his effort in promoting innovation and healthyrelationship among all the employees working in different locations(branches), Andrus started an annual activity where groups ofemployees (based on location) compete to pitch their most extremeideas to one another. Each group would present their ideas, thenthe branches vote one by one. (They are not allowed to vote fortheir own branch) Each branch awards 8 votes to their favorite, 4to the second, 2 to the third and 1 to the fourth. Clearly,tactical voting is important, so the order of voting is changedevery year. This year, the branches vote in order from mostnortherly to most southerly. The results before the last twobranches have voted are shown below (in voting order). Who stillstands a chance of winning? Walk me through your entire thoughtprocess! (30 points)
