Say the method is SODA.<br><br>Say your favorite, F, is going to win the initial, ballots-only, Approval count, under sincere voting. <br><br>The runner-up, G, has some (from your viewpoint) not-as-good-as-G candidates at the top of hir ranking for delegated approvals.<br><br>(There's nothing unusual or unlikely about that. A big-votegetting compromise can have some preferences that<br>many don't like as much)<br><br>Because F wins, G doesn't win. Therefore, s/he gives hir delegated approvals to some of hir higher-ranked candidates.<br><br>One of them wins as a result.<br><br>But if you had voted for G, but but not for F, then G would have won, instead of the worse candidates in hir ranking.<br><br>If you'd buried your favorite, you would have gotten a better outcome, not gettable by you in any other way.<br><br>Mike Ossipoff<br><br><br> </div></body>
