Ranked-choice voting anomalies such as monotonicity paradoxes have been
extensively studied through creating hypothetical examples and generating
elections under various models of voter behavior. However, very few real-world
examples of such voting paradoxes have been found and analyzed. We investigate
two single-transferable vote elections from Scotland that demonstrate upward
monotonicity, downward monotonicity, no-show, and committee size paradoxes.
These paradoxes are rarely observed in real-world elections, and this article
is the first case study of such paradoxes in multiwinner elections
