Mr. Schulze wrote in part-

On the other side, Condorcet methods are criticized very frequently
because the winner depends "only" on the pairwise matrix while
other information is ignored.

D- Which is why I suggest an *absolute* YES/NO vote on each choice with only 
the YES majority choices going head to head (which only shows *relative* 
votes).

How many U.S.A. President candidates could get a YES majority (assuming no 
incumbent is running again) ???

More detailed *absolute* info would be nice --- but requiring *too much* info 
input from the voters may be asking too much (noting Mr. Simmons' Oregon 
FAVOR education efforts).

That is, what is the upper info input limit for the *average* voter about 
choices (which would thus be used to determine choices) ---

YES/NO plus ranking (1, 2, etc.)  ???

Scale voting (100 to 0) ???

Something else ???
