Can you give an example of how this method works? It looks like this
is the concise definition:

>To elect a candidate, we gather all the ballots together and place them

What I understand from this is that you will draw one ballot, but may
still pick any candidate as the winner. What prevents the voter from
just revealing his first preference and assigning nothing to anyone else?

The description of "deterministic Hay voting" sounded to me to be
equivalent to the cumulative vote.
