[EM] Is "Inverse Nanson" better than standard Nanson?

[Michael Rouse]

I'm sorry, I should have said "pairwise-comparison" methods. I consider 
most pairwise-comparison methods to be Condorcet-like, even if they have a 
different completion method than suggested by Condorcet. I was just 
emphasizing that the Borda count, which gives points based on a candidates 
ranking (and which does *not* always select the Condorcet winner), can be 
used iteratively to find Condorcet winners and losers with a completely 
different method. *And* it gives a single winner/loser even if the 
candidates are in a circular tie.
