I would suggest a modification: if X is ranked first by more than half of the voters and the winner is not also ranked first by more than half of the voters, X must win. This would in theory allow a candidate with 51% approval to beat a candidate with 99% approval. In instant top-2 runoff, that might get a little complex :). If I voter approved: A,B Ranked: C>A>B>(rest) Who is first ? Ofc, the above vote is unlikely to be an optimal vote. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
