What's a majority in Approval?

[Mike Ossipoff]

In methods that allow giving a whole vote to more than 1 alternative,
and which recognize majority, a majority means a vote total of more
than half the number of voters. Examples: Bucklin, IRO-1.

Actually, I'd prefer calling a vote total of at least half the
number of voters a majority, and award the election to an alternative
that has that (if no other alternative does).
