Nobody has seriously advocated the use of Condorcet voting in multi-winner

D- Not quite. 

Condorcet in the single winner case is the limiting case of Condorcet in the 
multiple winner case.

2 or more Test Winners versus Test Loser (Others deemed Other Test Losers -- 
their votes go to a TW or a TL)

If a TW wins in ALL of his/her combinations, then he/she is a CW (requiring 
computerized votes in most cases).

For a multi-winner executive or judicial officer case, there would be 2 or 
more *effective* votes.

Since ties might often happen, then a tie-breaker would be needed (as in the 
single Condorcet case).
