Condorcet with Dual Dropping Perl Scripts

• The Dual Dropping method is a combination of the Cloneproof Schwartz Sequential Dropping (CSSD) and Tideman's Ranked Pairs (RP) methods using Markus Schulze's pair rank tiebreak procedure which utilizes Eppley's Random Voter Hierarchy Tiebreak generation procedure. To use this script you need PERL, the required PERL modules, and a correctly formatted input file. For those who are vote tabulation techies there are many customization options. Language translations are under development.
