Fixes #397 and #398.
Bug 1 (#397): in a multi-seat contest, if someone wins in the first round, we don't automatically eliminate undeclared write-ins before we eliminate any other candidates. Instead, we treat UWI like a normal candidate, which means we potentially eliminate other candidates with lower tallies first.
Bug 2 (#398): if UWI exceeds the winning threshold in the initial count, we mistakenly elect this candidate.
