Thanks for the interesting analysis, Ciaran.

The more interesting question is whether that's a strength or a
weakness. If people feel emphatically enough about a candidate to put
them near the bottom of a list, having that count against them seems
fair. That seems like a strenth of a ranking-based voting system.

I only see a few on there that I'd consider truly U-shaped, though.

Thanks,
Donnie
