This method just occurred to me. I don't think there's a major problem with it:
1. Lists of candidates are nominated.
2. Every voter can approve as many lists, and as many candidates within each
list as desired.
3. The most-approved candidate from the most-approved list is elected.
The motivation is that with this, parties shouldn't have to worry about the
danger of too many candidates causing too many voters to bullet vote and spoil
the result. At the same time, parties aren't given an undue advantage over
independents, because independents can run on their own list and win just
as they could in Approval.
