True.  I was hoping no one would notice, however, because that gets
tedious  (although once you have the ballots, it can be automated to a
large extent).  At some point, we should re-examine policy and run some
controls to see if a voting method more closely designed for what we are
actually doing might be more appropriate.

In the middle of a voting cycle is probably not the right time for that,
though, no matter what makes things easiest for me.
