Smithy

A simple smith set solver for ranked-choice ballots.

The Smith set is the minimal set of candidates which can beat all others pairwise - if there is a single winner in the set they are guaranteed the standard Condorcet i.e. Majority winner (they beat all others pairwise).

TODO

• add cli options & flexibility
  • relevant column selection flags
  • eligible voter filter flags (row selection)
  • output control flags (whether to show input ballots or the voter ids on them, whether to pretty print output, etc.)
• cgi interface on pages.uoregon.edu.
• instructions/writeup and README
• polish/finalize packaging and usage (might be some refactoring of where the cli goes)
