Kudos to Mike for an impressive memory - I found both the original 
(pay-for) article on the Post site, as well as a copy hosted elsewhere. 
   Both links, along with the SciAm article, are now in the References 
section of my updated voting page:

I've changed the name (yet again :-) to "Maximum Majority Voting" 
(MMV), which I think is both technically and rhetorically better.  I've 
also adopted several suggestions from Steve Eppley, including Random 
Dictator for tiebreaker.   I'm  still not sure if that might violate 
Strong Pareto, or whether I have the right rule for when to discard 
conflicting same-size majorities, so I'd welcome further feedback.

Cheers,
