The election results page should be better in ways that will be obvious.

(Below are the old contents of this bug report, from before ranked choice methods were even implemented. The comments below are still mostly true, but they're only part of what needs to be improved about the results page.)

We just conducted an election that used the Approval Voting method. Attached is a screenshot of the results page (I've blanked out the candidate's names).

I can see the totals, but I have to do the calculations by hand. It would be preferable for the software to know what voting method was in use and show the winner or candidate rankings according to that method, clearly and unambiguously. (Alternatively, it could show that for each voting method that could possibly apply given the form of the ballot.)

In this election, there happened to be a clear winner, but not every election will be like that.
