Mr. Simmons wrote in part-

I think that all candidates with less than 50% approval should be
eliminated, except perhaps when that would eliminate all of them.

D- OK, except for the exception clause.

Each candidate should be also be separately deemed matched against NOTA (None 
of the Above) (except in normal public legislative body elections using 
proportional representation elections).

If quick elections are not needed and head to head math is not used, then 
among the approved candidates, repeatedly drop the choice who is the least 
approved --- i.e. each voter votes for up to N-1 choices when N choices 
remain.

Example- 5 choices get majority approval. Each voter then votes for up to 4 
choices.

Ranked number votes can be used, of course (but keeping track of eliminated 
choices is some major work in a large election if a computer is not used).

Example- Ballots with unapproved choices removed--

ADCBE
EBACD
BCAED
etc.

Assume E is least approved using N-1 votes.
Revised ballots
ADCB
BACD
BCAD
etc.

Remove the next least approved election.
