D- Even so- called *strong* pluralities (i.e. the 40 percent NY number) are 
currently *manufactured* based on lots of lesser of 3 or more evil votes.

This stuff keeps getting more and more circular.

If there are 3 or more choices (or even 1 or 2 listed choices), then there 
may NOT be any majority tolerable winner.  

I have written many times-- If there is no such majority tolerable choice for 
a single executive or judicial office, then the legislative body can fill the 
vacancy.

Any such majority tolerable choice(s) can be found by a simple YES or NO vote 
on each choice (as is simply done on ordinary ballot issues).
