Proportional Representation via Approval Voting

As far as always electing the most preferred candidate of an absolute
majority, you have to be able to guarantee sincere ranking in order to
guarantee that outcome.  If you can't guarantee sincere ranking, then a
ranked method can only claim a majority based on the actual ballots --
which you can do just as well with Approval.

D- I repeat for about the 10th time--

With 3 or more choices (i.e. having a split majority), there can be NO 
guarantee of sincere voting.

Sincere---

26 AB
25 BA
49 C
100

Actual---

26 AB
25 BA
X1 CA
X2 CB
X3 C
100

X1 + X2 + X3 = 49

I mention for about the 40th time- each choice in single executive and 
judicial elections should get a simple YES/NO vote. 

If 2 or more choices get a YES majority, then use rank voting to do the head 
to head math (noting that rank voting does NOT show any *absolute* support 
but ONLY relative support).

If there is no Condorcet winner, then sum the place votes to get the earliest 
majority.

Simple Approval is mildly defective because it does not use rank votes (i.e. 
each Approval vote for each choice equals 1 or 100 on a 100 to zero scale) 
but it will somewhat reduce the political extremism for executive and 
judicial offices (in this New Age era of ultra-dangerous monarchial 
pretensions and *mandates* in the office of U.S.A. President, State governors 
and big city mayors --- due to the anti-democratic minority rule gerrymanders 
for electing the U.S.A. Congress and every State legislature).
