[EM] What is canonical Bucklin voting?

[culitif at tuta.io]

Thanks for the response! This is basically what I've implemented for the algorithm I called majorityJudgement, but is this the same thing as "bucklin majority judgement"? Is majority judgement already considered a Bucklin system? Or is there some variation of MJ that uses Bucklin style rounds? 

Best,
Culi.
