[EM] full rankings

[Simmons, Forest]

It seems to me that any method that uses "number of ballots on which a candidate is ranked" as an important part of the procedure could substitute the following device:
 
Let's say that " a candidate has bottom status" on a ballot if that candidate is not ranked above any candidate on that ballot.
 
Then instead of saying "the number of ballots on which candidate X is ranked," just say "the number of ballots on which candidate X does not have bottom status."
