[EM] Honest equal-rank/truncation?

[Toby Pereira]

 As an aside, "Random Approval" is the single-winner version of COWPEA Lottery. https://electowiki.org/wiki/COWPEA_Lottery

 A thought about how honest equal-rank might be defined. Earlier I've
said that a good way to define a honest ballot is to find a randomized
strategyproof system that induces it (e.g. Random Ballot for
single-mark, Random Pair for strict ranked, possibly some transformation
of Hay for VNM utility ballots).

How about this as a starting point?

"Random Approval": Voters provide Approval-style ballots. Choose a
ballot at random. If this ballot approves a single candidate, then elect
that candidate. Otherwise eliminate every non-approved candidate and
draw another ballot (without replacement). Ignore ballots only approving
eliminated candidates. If every ballot is visited, choose at random a
candidate from the winning set.
