I only mentioned it because that method of voting makes the "usual" reporting on the vote difference harder to do. In elections that do not allow preference voting, one can say X got Y% more of the votes to give some kind of idea of the margin of victory, but that "analysis" is not so simple for Condorcet voting.

Ciaran McCreesh wrote a script for Gentoo that will make a nice graph, given a master ballot: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/voting-logs/council... -- and it should be easy enough to modify for another file format.
Here's an example of the output: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/voting-logs/council...

I don't find that one particularly useful for understanding the distribution of ranking. Maybe I just don't know how to read it.
