For the person to be squeezed out, a majority of voters would need to have them as their second choice, but not meet the threshold of first choice votes to continue. They would be considered the preferred compromise candidate, but they get squeezed out of the race and polarizing the second round

Sorry if I’m being dense, but I’m asking what “most preferred” literally means, not what would happen under RCV. Do you mean like the majority criterion or the Condorcet winner criterion?

  By most preferred, I mean the most number of votes in favor of the person. That person can get squeezed out if they receive a majority of second place votes.
