at http://rangevoting.org/IrvNonAdd.html you say:

"In a C-candidate [IRV] race, each voting machine would have to have C! pseudo-candidates and each precinct would have to pass C! 'subtotal' counts on to the central tabulator."

and  you have a table that shows

  3    4    5    6    ...
  6   24   120  720   ...

is that correct?

is not a more correct answer

   C-1
   SUM{ n!/C! }
   n=1

which is bigger than C!. in fact, on http://rangevoting.org/ Burlington.html you show 9 (presumably precinct summable) piles for 3 (remaining) candidates.
