[EM] Standard MJ Reformulation

[Forest Simmons]

To better understand MJ's relation to Symmetrical MJ, let's look at two
equivalent descriptions of MJ ...

If there are an odd number of judgments (votes) for candidate X, then the
Majority Judgment of X is the median judgment.

If there are an even number of judgments, add one additional vote to the
bottom judgment category ... the median of this augmented set of judgments
is X's MJ.

For Symmetric MJ add the extra vote to the middle category.

The other equivalent procedure for MJ is to start at the top category and
collapse downward until a majority of votes is reached.

The symmetrical version collapses from the outside towards the middle
category.
