Bucklin isn' a bad method, but it doesn't have all the advantages
of Tideman(wv) or SSD.

Compared to most circular tiebreakers, Bucklin wouldn't be a bad
one, but it isn't the best one. If one is going to propose rank
balloting, one might as well propose a really good rank-count,
like Condorcet's method.

Demorep, earlier in your message you spoke of some candidates
having a "Yes" majority. You didn't look in the ballot-box, did
you?
