My definition of voting one x over y was:
 
You're voting x over y if switching x and y on your ballot is more likely to 
change the winnner from x to y than from y to x.
 
[end of definition of voting x over y]
 
 
I should add the clause "...if there is no information about other voters' 
ballots."
 
Of course that isn't a problem if "more likely" is defined or replaced by 
"consistent with more possible configurations
of other voters' ballots".
 
If there's any question of what "switching x and y on your ballot" means, it 
could be changed to "switching the _names
of_ x and y on your ballot", or "voting x exactly as you were voting y, and 
voting y exactly as you were votinlg x".
