The analysis

The claim is a direct, axiomatic observation of how voting systems function: changing the inputs (voter profiles) under a fixed function (voting rules) yields different outputs (electoral outcomes). This is a foundational premise of social choice theory and basic political science, rendering it common knowledge that does not require empirical citation.
