However, the Condorcet winner criterion is quite easily and

What do you do with candidates with equal ratings?
If a voter has a range ballot like:
a: 99
b: 50
c: 50
d: 0
This would be equivalent to the ranked ballot:
a > b = c > d
Every Condorcet resolution method can handle a ballot where two or more
candidates are ranked the same and locating the Condorcet Winner, if one
exists, is unaffected.
