D- Again- 
real choices (all YES acceptable)-  
1   2    3   4    5
E > C > A > B > D

simple Approval
E = C = A = B = D

If D is the lesser evil of a given voter, then

D = E = C = A = B

All 5 may get majorities but D may get the highest majority.

Conditional YES
1   2    3   4    5
E   C    A    B   D

The NO majority choices (F, G, etc.) have been removed.  Votes 2 to 5 are 
conditional YES. If E fails to get a first choice majority, then the vote for 
C is counted.  If E and C fail to get a majority, then the vote for A is 
counted.  Etc.  The vote for lesser evil D is counted only if E, C, A, B all 
fail to get a majority.
