[EM] It uses ratings balloting

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

Yesterday I was talking about the possibility of determining what lottery 
would win a BeatpathWinner/CSSD or RP count against all the possible 
lotteries with a particular set of candidates, based on voters´ ballots. I 
forgot to add that, to find out how those voters would rank the lotteries, 
it would be necessary to have voters´ratings of the candidates. So it would 
be a ratings-balloting method.

Also, of course I have no idea how or if one could find out what lottery 
would win in Condorcet against all the other possible lotteries. As an 
outcome, a particular candidate could be spoken of as a lottery which that 
candidate wins with a probability of 100%, and such lotteries are included 
in "all the possible lotteries with a particular set of candidates".

Also, I have no idea whether or not such a method, even if do-able, would 
improve on, or even equal, the merit of Condorcet(wv).

I just mention that possible method because Forest spoke of a Condorcet 
count among lotteries.
