Forest--

You wrote:

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.

Forest replies...

I think you are confusing FBC compliance with monotonicity compliance.

With rankings you need the place holders (for monotonicity) but for ratings the empty slots hold the places.
