Hi Hugh,
I have some suggestions for your code.
This,
{ } swap [ candidate? suffix ] each
this could be written using map instead, ie
[ candidate? ] map
And this,
[ ballot get nth . ] each
can be simplified to
ballot get [ . ] each
or
ballot get stack.
Finally,
[ count>> + ] each
Can be written using the sigma combinator:
[ count>> ] sigma
One more piece of advice: you might want to wrap your top-level
word(s) in a with-scope, so that the temporary dynamic variables you
use with get/set don't clutter the namespace of the caller.
