It would depend on strategy. However, if exactly one candidate has majority approval and nobody else does, then that should mean that he is preferred to anyone else by a majority. The only way it isn't true is if some voters approved the candidate and the didn't approve a candidate that they preferred more. Most approval strategies say that for any candidate you approve, you should always approve all candidates you prefer to that candidate. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
