[EM] The worst about each system; Approval Preferential

[Jameson Quinn]

> This method is precinct-summable. One-round results can be done easily on
> any equipment that exists, and/or by hand easily. The process for finding
> who is in the runoff described above could also be done on even the most
> antiquated equipment by running the ballots through once per viable
> candidate (that is, those who's base score plus preferences is over the top
> base score). Typically, this would not be more than three candidates.

> Oops, I meant "those who's base score plus preferences is over the
second-highest base score"; and nevertheless, it would frequently be only
two candidates, removing the need for any fancy counting at all.
