I just had an idea for a combination of these methods.
There is still an approval portion and a ranked portion and a pairwise
matrix is still generated, this is followed by an RP procedure, but
with the following difference:
the priority of X vs Y is either
X.wv+X.approval_score-Y.approval_score or just X.wv+X.approval_score
(I haven't decided yet)
Then just RP this. Use the absolute approval scores as a tiebreaker.
I'll use the example from Rob LeGrand's calculator.
http://userfs.cec.wustl.edu/~rhl1/rbvote/calc.html
98: Abby > Cora | Erin > Dave > Brad
64: Brad > Abby | Erin > Cora > Dave
12: Brad | Abby > Erin > Dave > Cora
98: Brad > Erin | Abby > Cora > Dave
13: Brad > Erin > Abby | Dave > Cora
125: Brad | Erin > Dave > Abby > Cora
124: Cora | Abby > Erin > Dave > Brad
76: Cora > Erin | Abby > Dave > Brad
21: Dave > Abby | Brad > Erin > Cora
30: Dave | Brad > Abby > Erin > Cora
98: Dave | Brad > Erin > Cora > Abby
139: Dave > Cora | Abby > Brad > Erin
23: Dave > Cora | Brad > Abby > Erin
Approval Scores:
Abby - 196
Brad - 312
Cora - 362
Erin - 187
Dave - 311
The tiebreaking ballot: Cora > Brad > Dave > Abby > Erin
what other methods chose:

Pairwise Matrix:
The pairwise matrix:
Abby Brad Cora Dave Erin
Abby 458 461 485 511
Brad 463 461 312 623
Cora 460 460 460 460
Dave 436 609 461 311
Erin 410 298 461 610
X.wv+X.approval_score
654 657 681 707
775 773 624 935
822 822 822 822
623 796 648 498
721 609 772 921
X.wv+X.approval_score-Y.approval_score
342 295 494 396
579 411 437 624
626 510 635 511
427 484 286 187
525 297 410 734
Ok so first with X.wv+X.approval_score
Brad > Erin 935
Erin > Dave 921
Cora > Everyone Else 822
Cora wins.
Next with X.wv+X.approval_score-Y.approval_score
Cora wins again as the winner of this Condorcet matrix with approval.
Cora did have a 50 voter lead in the approval section, that is what
won the election.
There might be a few bugs with this. I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.
