There were three candidates in the elections - Amber, Pearl, and the last minute candidate Crystal. 100 people were eligible to cast a vote. The voters were asked a series of questions at the end of the vote.
* if it had been just Amber and Pearl, which would you have voted for?
* is Crystal your least favorite candidate?
* which of the two candidates you didn't vote for do you like better?
* is there anyone you would never vote for?
61 people preferred Pearl over Amber. 18 said Crystal is their least favorite candidate, but she took some comfort in learning that 50% of the people eligible to vote would have voted for her, had they been required to change their vote, giving her a win in this category by a margin of two votes. Amber was brought almost to tears when she learned that 59 of the 100 voters considered her their least favorite candidate.
The election itself was a simple one. The 100 people each wrote a name on a piece of paper and the one who got the most votes was elected. Is the above information sufficient to tell who won and by getting how many votes?
