Condorcet is precinct countable. You just need an N*N grid of numbers from each precinct. > 2.

Each condorcet vote can be converted into an N*N grid with a one or zero in each box, kinda like a single person precinct. With the proper machine, a ranked ballot could be converted into an N^2 Yes/No questions. This would allow 3 ballot to be used. Ofc, it would be pretty complex as only certain arrangements are possible and this goes against the 3-ballot requirement that the machine be simple. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
