There's no point in hashing out the merits of Approval yet again, since
this debate has been done ad nauseum.  However, PLEASE don't put Borda in
the same category as Approval or Condorcet.  Whatever you might think of
Approval and Condorcet, Borda is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH worse.  Approval may be
a mediocre method or a great method depending on your point of view, but
Borda is an unmitigated atrocity.

By putting Borda in the same category as Approval and Condorcet you make
an unfair comparison.
