[EM] Does VFA (Vote For and Against) meet SDSC?

[Kevin Venzke]

Hello,

VFA is a simple method where the voter votes for one candidate
and against one candidate. The candidate with the most "for" votes
wins, unless that candidate has more than half of the "against"
votes, in which case the candidate with the second-most "for"
votes wins.

At least in the three-candidate case, I like this better than
Approval, since it satisfies Majority (for solid coalitions) and
"Majority Last Preference," as in, the last preference of a
majority can't win.

In VFA, a majority can make a candidate lose by voting against
him. It doesn't matter who any of them votes for.

So what do you say, Mike? Does VFA satisfy SDSC?
