Implement Tie Breaker by Precedence List #6

Closed brainbuz closed 4 years ago

brainbuz commented 4 years ago

Many real world election rules call for Random as a Tie Breaker. Because this can cause the results to change between iterations Vote::Count will never support or implement Random as a Tie Breaker. To support rules that call for this method Vote::Count will allow them to pre-determine a tie-breaker precedence list. The highest choice on the list will win all ties, the bottom choice will lose all ties.
