[I changed "i" to "index" in the last line.]

That doesn't do the same thing, but that's because my description
wasn't clear.  rows is a list of tuples, with each tuple being one
person's three votes.  E.g.

rows = [('J2', 'C64', 'X11'), ('U2', 'J2', 'P3000')]

So if X == 'J2', the code should calculate 3+2=5 points.
