If we don't accept repeats, then don't do them. I specifically remember
that concorde voting allowed for it though, in the case of options A, B,
C and D, if I prefer A and B the same, and C and D equally negative, I
would vote 1,1,2,2. The voting mechanism would record this as:
A over C
A over D
B over C
B over D
Where as if I vote 1,2,3,4, the voting mechanism would record it as:
A over B
A over C
A over D
B over C
B over D
C over D
Manoj needs to confirm that the voting scripts don't accept the former.
