Kevin,

Could you please explain in fairly simple terms how Condorcet/Approval works?

 I have no problem with Condorcet/Margins approach but it might be
hard to explain to the general public. I like Condorcet in general.  I
also like  Approval because it is so simple and could be done using
today's voting systems (hardware) and ballots.

Thanks.
