Forest--<br><br>Let's find out what its properties are.<br><br>Just preliminarily, it sounds like one of the MMT ideas that I considered. <br><br>But it seemed to me, at the time (if it's the same method I was considering)<br> that, if a ballot can be counted in that majority merely by rating each candidate<br>in the set equal to or over every candidate outside the set, then, in the ABE, the B votes could<br>rate A at bottom, with C, and still be part of the relevant majority. So there there is<br>the set required by the acquiescing rule, and there is one candidate rated above bottom<br>by everyone in that set: Candidate B.<br><br>So, the method that I'd considered wouldn't pass in the ABE. I don't know if the method<br>you describe is the same one, but, preliminarily, it sounds similar.<br><br>But maybe not. Any possibility could yield improvement. <br><br>My definition of that set was something like this:<br><br>A set of candidates rated equal to or over everyone outside the set by each member of the<br>same majority of the voters.<br><br>Mike Ossipoff<br><br> </div></body>
