[EM] Re: Candidate withdrawal option

[Paul Kislanko]

Russ brings up an important point.

Again, it is a different thing for a candidate to withdraw befoe the ballots
are cast than for a candidate to withdraw during counting of ranked ballots
with all candidates ranked worse on any ballot moving up 1 spot.

This gets to the question of whether withdrawal is a part of the election
method or just something outside of the method, and it is not always clear
which we're talking about.
