Approval Vote: The unfairness of being dead

I request, under the guidelines of the list, the probability of this
  example ever occurring:

    1 J

D- How about the probability of the below ???

2 AJ
1 J

3 AJ
1 A
2 J
1 C
7

Add zeros and added choices (such as 500 CJ) for larger examples.

No need---- 

Approval is defective by treating all actual votes cast as being the same 
(i.e. unranked) when in reality, of course, voters rank choices (if given 
that option).   

The superficial simplicity of Approval leads to YES/NO voting, head to head 
(Condorcet) and summing ranked choice votes (as a tiebreaker).
