[EM] A more particular mutual-majority & weaker MMC

[Michael Ossipoff]

One way to say it:

If wv would make a good choice when it elects the CW, then we have
confidence in the CW’s  voters, the median voters.

Then surely we have confidence in their 2nd-choice too.. the direction in
which they send the win if the CW is eliminated.

As I said, there’s good reason to believe the win will be sent in the
progressive direction.

…especially relevant given wv’s prohibitive count-task, which endangers
count-fraud security.

I mentioned tha Hare’s handcount doesn’t require any more votecounting than
that of Approval…making handcount-audit JGA’s feasible.

But Approval still has a less complicated count, making it better for
count-fraud detection & prevention.

Approval is my favorite for that reason, & for its minimalness, & easiest
definition, explanation, proposal, enactment, implementation (zero-cost), &
administration.
