Finding the probable best candidate? - CORRECTION

[Rob LeGrand]

Steve,

I think I understand your Borda counting system now.  Sorry for my previous
laziness.  I think it should be:

Ranking x Ballots:                                                    Total
Browne   11      6      16      48      36      51       6      93      267
Bush     22      4       8      16      12      68      12     124      266
Buchanan 33      2      24      32      24      85      15     155      370
Gore     44     10      32      64      60      17       9      62      298
Nader    55      8      40      80      48      34       3      31      299

         Total   Average Rank
Browne   267     2.67
Bush     266     2.66
Buchanan 370     3.70
Gore     298     2.98
Nader    299     2.99

Societal Outcome:
Bush>Browne>Gore>Nader>Buchanan

which matches the result of my procedure.
