Supplement-
1. Votes in simple Approval Voting have a de facto YES component.
It is because there is no number ranking of AV votes that it is defective (in
not having head to head pairings if 2 or more AV choices get majority votes)
(noting that a majority requirement is not part of simple AV).
2. Laws should NOT get passed by any plurality (high or low) that is less
than a majority of the voters or the legislators having a majority of the
voting power in a legislative body.
What chance will simple Condorcet have in being enacted in real politics land
(among "average" devious candidates and voters) if it does not have a
majority YES requirement for the election of major single winner elective
officers (presidents, governors, mayors, etc.) ???
