[EM] Condorcet Enhancement

[Magosányi Árpád]

I would add Modified D21 to the list.
D21 is genially simplifies the ballot for human use compared to
preferential voting. The voters give (partial) preferences, which can be
evaluated using Condorcet. (I have found at least one inconsistency and
one factual error about the evaluation method in the D21 paper. While I
think the method is actually better than Majority (not a big feat in
itself), that undermines the claims of the paper significantly.)

What does "Chicken Resistant" mean? Google failed to give me any
relevant results.
