[EM] NPV vs Condorcet

[Dave Ketchum]

If a Condorcet voter bullet votes, that is voting for one candidate.

An FPTP voter's only capability is to vote for one candidate.

We have exactly the same information from these two votes.  Take it from 
the FPTP count and recount it into the N*N array by Condorcet rules and you 
have exactly the same result from these two voters.

Not all Condorcet voters bullet vote, but this gives FPTP voters a chance 
to participate until their states move up to Condorcet.

I thought, momentarily, about combining in other methods such as Range, and 
do not see anything practical for such.
