[EM] Clone Proofing Copeland

[Simmons, Forest]

Here's an idea for clone proofing Copeland:
 
1.  First (as in Copeland)  compute the pairwise win/lose matrix, which has a  +1, -1, or zero in  row i column j  according as alternative i  beats, loses to, or ties with candidate j in the (i, j) pairwise comparison.
 
2. Then (unlike Copeland) multiply each entry in column j by the number of first place votes received by j.
 
3. Finally (as in Copeland)  the alternative with the greatest row sum is the winner.
