Any kind of ballot that is more expressive than lone mark plurality could be used. Each row of the starting matrix represents one ballot with the ballot marks, whether grades, yes, no, ranks, ratings, etc. all encoded numerically. Note that approval ballots don't fully order the candidates, but (given more than two factions) the point X in the row space of A will almost surely have as many distinct entries as there are candidates, because of the the rotations, etc. > > Assuming my understanding is correct, can you provide an example which > would provide a different winner (or set of winners) between your > method and Condorcet (using either Beatpath Winner or Ranked-Pairs)? > Examples forthcoming ...
