=== Tallying Votes ===
Rankings are added into a
To determine the winner:
# Eliminate any candidate that is defeated in a one-to-one match with any other higher-approved candidate. So by 2 different measures, a definite majority agrees that candidate should be eliminated.
#If more than one candidate remains, the winner is the single candidate that defeats all others in one-to-one (pairwise)contests.
A simple way to implement this is to permute the pairwise array so that candidates are listed in order of approval.
Then, starting with the diagonal cell corresponding to the least-approved candidate, examine all the cells in the column above the diagonal. If the candidate loses to any higher-approved candidates, proceed up the diagonal to the approval rating of the next-higher-approved candidate.
The winner is the first candidate found with no losses to higher-approved candidates.
