[EM] 1CM criterion, better definition. MTA method.

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

1-Candidate-Mutuality (1CM):

If a majority prefer x to y, then they should have a way of voting that will ensure that
x won't win, without any of them voting a less-liked candidate equal to or over their
favorite.

[end of 1CM definition]

Majority-Top, Approval (MTA):

Voters mark candidates "top" or "middle", or no mark.

If a candidate is marked "top" by a majority of all the voters, s/he wins.

Otherwise, the winner is the candidate marked "top" or "middle" by the most voters.

If more than one candidate is marked "top" by the most voters, then the winner is
whichever of those is marked "top" or "middle" by the most voters.

[end of MTA definition]

Approval meets FBC and WDSC.

MTA, MDDA and Bucklin meet FBC, 1CM and 3P.

Bucklin also meets SDSC and UP.

MDDA meets SFC.
