Use case: a book club using this to decide what the next book will be.

We thought that the most intuitive ballot format should be a list of indices, ordered from highest to lowest priority.

When trying to decide, we don't know the rank of every option ahead of time. Instead, we manually sort our choices by swapping numbers around. We can't do that in the current list of ranks format without changing all of the ranks in-between the swaps, and we have to remember the position in the list that corresponds to each option, sometimes having to count commas.

This also would allow us to keep the same list of options between voting sessions, just adding options to the end. This would keep each book's index constant and allow us just to update the old ballots when considering a new book.

The program wants each ballot to rank the candidates 1-n, with each position left-to-right corresponding to a candidate top-to-bottom, but this is not clear. When I first used the program, I thought it wanted most-desired to least-desired, left to right, with the number corresponding to the candidate, rather than the position. In this way a partial ballot would simply leave off candidates from the end of their list.

Without a GUI, the instructions need to be very clear.

Candidates:

Ubers
Monotype
Random Battle
AAA
MnM
OU
Gen 3 OU
1v1
NU
RU
LC
UU
DOU
DUU
VGC 2017

Ballots (these are wrong but had to put them in like this to test past #4):

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 11, 12, 1, 3, 4, 5, 13, 14, 15
13, 14, 3, 6, 15, 12, 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Should give:

Ubers: 1
Monotype: 0
Random Battle: 0
AAA: 0
MnM: 0
OU: 1
Gen 3 OU: 0
1v1: 0
NU: 0
RU: 0
LC: 0
UU: 0
DOU: 1
DUU: 0
VGC 2017: 0

But it actually gives:

Ubers: 1
Monotype: 0
Random Battle: 0
AAA: 0
MnM: 0
OU: 0
Gen 3 OU: 1
1v1: 0
NU: 1
RU: 0
LC: 0
UU: 0
DOU: 0
DUU: 0
VGC 2017: 0

You may need to resubmit the results to reproduce this bug.

Would be supper cool if I could use comments. I think I can probably put in a PR for instructions and code changes, we'd just need Peter to pick a syntax, ideally -- or //

See in the screenshot the results for round 1 are not correct.

I've ticked the box for allowing incomplete ballots, I've put the ballots in as follows (there are 15 candidates)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 11, 12, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
13, 14, 3, 6, 15, 12, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

But get the error In Ballot #2 one or more numbers are left out.

Why?
