[EM] Approval failing Majority in a likely way

It's this sort of scenario that bothers me:

45 A
35 B(>C) (i.e. may or may not approve C)
20 C(>B)

It's possible that A will win this.

Also, whether voters approve a candidate depends not just on utility but on
odds predictions.  It's possible that the favorite candidate by any measure will
lose in Approval, only because the voters didn't think he was viable enough to
get bullet votes.
