[EM] Demo of n-rank ballot for U.S. president

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi all,

I spent the better part of today mucking around with Javascript and 
DHTML, and have come up with something that I hope makes a pretty good 
web interface for an n-rank ballot.  The results are here:
http://electorama.com/2004/condorcetballot/

The ballot has the nominated candidates for U.S. President from all 
major and most ballot-qualified minor candiates from 2000 and 2004, in 
addition to the major candidates vying for the Democratic and Republican 
nominations in 2000 and 2004.

The most interesting part about this from a user interface perspective 
is the sorttable.js that I found on http://www.kryogenix.org/ .  It 
really helps one sift through a large number of candidates in a rational 
way.

I don't have any immediate plans to incorporate this into something 
larger, but I have eventual plans.  I would love to see someone beat me 
to the punch.

Rob
