Suppose this scenario: 46: A >> B > C 5: B >> A > C 5: B >> C > A 44: C >> B > A
B beats A and C, but he is approved for only 10% of the voters. A possible patch is to avoid rank-only ballots and ignore candidates with less than 1/2 approval (or total score, if range ballots are used) of the most approved candidate. This simple rule also solves DH3 pathology. ________________________________ Diego Santos
