How about: "Candidate A is first in the sharing order, so she shares her
delegated votes with candidates B and C." ?

I know we had a discussion in August where we decided to change "share" to
"add approvals to your vote" on the wiki, and I agreed that I liked it
better.  Maybe I'm reconsidering...

I like the word "share" because A passing on votes doesn't diminish her
own.  (Similar to filesharing.)
