My proposal is rather simpler...
Everyone will submit a normal approval or range ballot. However, a runoff
election will be held between the winner of this and everyone whom at least 75%
of the voters who approved of him also approved of. In range extremities of
opinion would be taken into account. This really can't have any negative
effects, and would be simialar to having a political primary after the
election, in a non-partisan faction (I have a strong belief in
non-partisanship, as I believe parties simply manipulate electoral systems, and
are inherently corrupt). The runoff is limited in applications, but it is
better than the rather arbitrary top-two runoff used in many nations.
