Chris, your new method includes the statement ...
> If any candidate X TTP beats any candidate Y, is not in turn > TTP beaten > by Y and is > not TTP beaten by any candidate Z that doesn't also TTP beat Y, > then Y > is disqualified. In other words, there is no short TTP beatpath from Y to X, where "short" means fewer than three steps. We could use this condition as the definition for "X covers Y in the TTP sense," or more briefly "X TTP- covers Y." So your method elects the TTP-uncovered candidate rated top on the greatest number of ballots. If this method fails mono-raise (like most uncovered methods do) we can use one of our covering method ideas to fix it. For example .. Let variable X be the candidate with the highest range score. Then while X is TTP-covered, replace X with the highest range score candidate that TTP-covers it. Elect the last value of X.
