this seems to me to be a sorta backward-working Bucklin. if you
replace blank with 3rd-choice, "tolerable" with 2nd-choice, and
"better" with 1st-choice, it's a basic ranked ballot like for IRV or
Condorcet or Borda or Bucklin. it's a lot like Bucklin except Bucklin
looks first at only the 1st-choice rankings (and a tie is far less
likely than a non-majority, which is what Bucklin uses to trigger
looking at the second-round count of 1st and 2nd rankings).
it's not Bucklin, but it reminds me of Bucklin.
