[EM] Equal Rankings IRV

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

ERIRV(whole) meets WDSC. Surprisingly, ERIRV(fractional) seems to also.

ERIRV(fractional) fails FBC. ERIRV(whole) probably fails it too.

Bucklin meets WDSC, SDSC, & Participation.

Using consistent naming, ERBucklin(whole) meets WDSC, SDSC, Participation, 
and maybe FBC.

If so, that contradicts what I've always said about Approval & CR being the 
only methods that meet FBC.

Also, I've always said that Approval is a close 2nd, after Condorcet. But 
Bucklin & ERBucklin(whole) appear to be between Approval & Condorcet in 
merit.

But, because counting computers are available for public political 
elections, there's no reason to count rankings other than by the best way: 
Condorcet, by which I mean wv SSD or wv RP.
