Two-bit ballots can distinguish between three levels plus one 
bottom-ranked level. Thus, they can do ranked ballots for three 
candidates (with equal rank and truncation), so it's hard to say.

Knowing whether to use these 2^2 levels for rank or for Range-style 
rating depends on what method you think is the best. It could also be 
used for n-slot methods with n <= 4.
