The amount of *cloneness* is a question of degree even with 2 choices.
Choice A exists (versus no other choice).
Choice B comes along.
Possibilities
all to zero A [> < ] B zero to all
Examples--
100 A > B 0
0 A < 100 B
99 A > 1 B
1 A < 99 B
51 A > 49 B
49 A < 51 B
Some voters, of course, may rank A and B as being equal.
Assuming that only the *all* (100 percent) values indicate clones is a bit of
a stretch (especially in public elections).
That it, I very highly doubt that there would be any *100 percent* clones in
public elections so that worrying about *cloneproof* methods is something of
a waste of time.
