Well, we should have declared the voting system beforehand.  Sorry for
being more than a bit overloaded at the moment and only mentioning
that now.  When I tried to look at the poll beforehand, I couldn't log
in and didn't get time to resolve that before the vote started, so I
didn't realise that it was using the same approach as the initial survey.

I feel that the best approach now would be to run the complete ballots
through the various systems, see how they come out and probably almost
all will give the same results and it won't matter.  I hope.


I have a program here called voteengine by Blake Cretney.  It's PD and
I'm not sure where it was from (sourceforge?).  It wants an input file
of one ballot per line as space-seperated codes.  Currently it looks
like:

E F B I L A
L B C A K E

which means voter 1 voted E as rank 1, F as 2, B, I, L, then A, while
voter 2 voted L, then B, then ...

If anyone can upload txt files of complete votes in that form, I'll
run it through the engine.  If not, I'll do it when I find time.

Hope that helps,
