Plurality obviously has 1 vote per voter (which many times does not produce a
majority winner).
Plain Approval in effect has N equal votes for each voter (where N is the
number of choices) (which may produce an excessive supermajority winner).
Would having only the N/2 (N even) or (N+1)/2 (N odd) earliest choices of each
voter be a compromise tiebreaker (that is a midway Bucklin changing such N/2
or (N+1)/2 number ranked votes to unranked votes) (after doing a YES/NO vote
(to remove choices unacceptable to a majority) and head to head) ?
Graphically---

1 N/2 N
Plurality Compromise(?) Approval
Any head to head tiebreaker must be rather simple to be understood by
the voters.
The above is prompted by Mr. Ossipoff's recent comments about Plurality and
Approval.
