[EM] Going down one rank position per Bucklin round

If you use a range style ballot, and just go down one slot per Bucklin move, 
then you could discard the majority defeated candidates.  It might help 
mitigate the Clone Winner problem, too.

I reply:

But wouldn't that lose the method's  FBC compliance? For FBC compliance, if 
there are N candidates ranked over a particular candidate, then it's 
necessary to give a vote to hat candidate in the (N+1)th round, and not 
before.
