[Election-Methods] Deterministic tie-breakers

[Elisabeth Varin]

Dear Diego,

even for tie-breaking procedure, I recommend a deterministic method.
The advantage is that computer can validate a long counting process
and obtain the same result when they use a deterministic tie-breaking 
procedure.
Thus as many independent recounts as needed should lead to the same result,
killing any fraud attempt.
