Very interesting method. Just a quick question. The article mentions that
rank-order methods would be really tough to do. Wouldn't the method just
be two votes with the correct rank-order and one with the reverse order?
If you wanted A>B>C, you'd have two votes for that and one for C>B>A.
Borda would end up with the score A=4, B=3, C=2, which is the same order,
just shifted. Condorcet might have problems with completion rules when
there is a circular tie, but a Condorcet winner should be the same either
way.

I'd try to figure it out, but I'm at work now. :D
