Clearly approval has more equal ranking problems then other methods,

A 50
B 51  wins

A has a first choice *true* majority but loses (due to the errors of the 2 
ABC voters).

A similar result might happen if 2 or more were being elected (such as 3 
judges with 10 candidates).

However, since the winners have the highest majorities it is a whole lot more 
democratic than the total evil of simple plurality.
