Zitat Schulze:

"I do not think that it makes much sense to eliminate all unattainable options before calculation the Schulze ranking. The reasons:

(1) This would treat the status quo in an unfair manner. The status quo could win only if it was a Condorcet winner. Another option could win even without being a Condorcet winner. status quo should be "protected". That implies that, if option A had won the election without being the status quo, then option A should also win if it is the status quo.

(2) The status quo could be changed in a cyclic manner."
