[Bug] Proportional representation not reading votes properly

[luiscastro193]

I created a test poll with 4 options and "Enforce proportional representation" activated (2 choices would win).

The file uploaded contained these votes:
1, 4, 3, 2
4, 1, 3, 2

However, in the "Nonproportional poll" section the third choice won over the fourth.

These are the poll results: http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/results.pl?num_winners=2&id=E_c8886312c2f0969f

You can see the actual votes downloading the CSV.

This is interesting... If you vote manually, the ballots are counted right but now the CSV is wrong. Again, it exchanges the positions of the third and fourth options.

There is a bit of a hack in the way proportional mode works, in that rankings are inverted. Higher values internally mean the voter wants them more.

Oh now I get it. Thanks a lot!
