<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The late Dr David Hill invented an
STV-Condorcet hybrid called Sequential STV, which uses Condorcet
pairing to alleviate premature exclusion of candidates. Tho, this
version of STV is still non-monotonic. (FAB STV is monotonic.)
David Hill's great great great grandfather (if that's the right
number of greats) was Thomas Wright Hill the first known inventor
of the prototype of the single transferable vote, or the
quota-preferential method, as the Australians call it. This year
2019 is its bi-centenary. (More information on the STV Action site
of Anthony Tufffin, who promised his friend David, to commemorate
the occasion.)</div>

This is one of the algorithms supported by CIVS, the one called
"Condorcet-IRV" though to my understanding it was originally
proposed by Thomas Hill.
