[EM] New tryIRV free IRV survey website online

[Dave Ketchum]

Ouch!
.     As Kristofer just wrote, Condorcet is a much better method than  
IRV for what you are promising - Interesting that Condorcet offers  
(more than) the same voter ranking capabilities as IRV, but does much  
better counting.
.     CIVS offers, available now, what you seem to be trying.   
Recommend you study this description of CIVS and consider what it  
offers:   http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html
