<DIV>So: if my analysis is correct, Bucklin strategy is almost just Approval strategy. You vote the better of the two frontrunners as the lowest approved rank, and any candidates you prefer at the highest rank. If the first-round votes are to be used to distinguish multiple majorities, you also vote the next candidate down in the lowest approved rank, unless they're also a frontrunner.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV class=gmail_quote>I think you're right or nearly so. If I were voting in an ERBucklin election I would vote Approval-style.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_quote>My explanation would be that it's highly unlikely that you know that candidate X could receive a majority at round N but that he has become unviable at round N+1.</DIV>
