I restricted the categories of voters or ballots to eliminate from consideration truncation or equal rankings of candidates. I suppose that we could admit into consideration ballots that rank lower choices equally, while still indicating a unique first choice.
I don't know whether this helps or not. In general, I suppose that the option of ranking lower choices equal gives voters more opportunities to protect their interests without betraying their favorite, the whole point of the strong FBC criterion.
