[EM] My ballot

[Rob Speer]

I've noticed that it would have been nice to be able to leave people out
without putting them at the bottom of the ballot; that's where George W.
Bush goes. Anybody I don't know about has more than half a chance of
being better than GWB.

This could be implemented in different ways - perhaps I could specify a
default rank (17 is what it ended up being) for people I leave
unranked, or perhaps I could opt for unranked candidates to be left out
of my pairwise comparisons altogether (though that option might result
in weak, unknown candidates doing too well).

So here's the ballot.

If you want to have an Approval cutoff, below what 
rank position do you want it? [ ]

If you want to have an automatic equal ranking line, 
below what rank position do you want it? [16]
