See how often tied winners occur #5

Run simulations; if ties are infrequent enough, potentially move forward with building more on this (though I could potentially make this work even if ties are frequent; after vote with all candidates, present choice between the two tied options)

Started working on simulations in https://github.com/DylanSp/decision-maker-experiments/commit/dd308a6e9845f8b3025bb5889580c84b233ecc0f.

Potential UX if tie occurs:

  1. Display tied candidates; give users an option to do a runoff vote with just those 2 candidates, an option to randomly determine winner, or they can quit and discuss it themselves.
  2. If they do runoff vote, each user only gets the two choices, votes for exactly one. Display results.
  3. If there's still a tie after runoff vote, display option to randomly determine winner, display option to quit.

I might as well simulate the chances of ties, but they're not an insurmountable issue to making a site/app based on this.
