It gets a lot of thought here, including claimed Condorcet compliance. I offer what I claim is a true summary of what I would call smart Approval. What I see:<br> . Candidates each offer draft Approval votes which voters can know in making their decisions.<br> . Vote by Approval rules.<br> . If there is no winner, then each candidate gets to vote above draft once for each ballot that bullet voted for that candidate.<br> . If a voter is thinking bullet voting, but wants to avoid the above - voting also for an unreal write-in will avoid giving the candidate a draft vote.<br><br>I do not see the claimed compliance, for voters do not get to do ranking. I see a couple uses of thoughts that imply ranking - they are so rare that they look like typos to me.<br><br>On Jun 5, 2011, at 6:23 PM, <a href="mailto:fsimmons@pcc.edu">fsimmons@pcc.edu</a> wrote:<br>...<br><br></body></html>
