[EM] Election-Methods Digest, Vol 236, Issue 12

[Ted Stern]

See my post from a couple of weeks ago. I propose using a MJ-like seed
ranking to initialize and generate the marginal differences for a
Smith-compliant margin sort method.

While I'd like to use MJ instead of median rating score, I don't see an
obvious way to get a score sum in MJ, and in any case, the extra handling
of MJ is obviated by the margin sort.
