Ranked Voting
This crate is a Web App example that uses Svelte as the frontend with Rust Rocket as the backend API to do ranked choice voting.
Each user ranks the candidates according to their preference, and an election is run after each vote is cast.
The implementation is not secure. There is no registration mechanism. Users simply identity with a self-chosen username, so any user can change any other's ballot simply by giving their username.
