Trying to understand the details of why a particular order is used in casting the proxy approvals may tax the patience of Joe Public, but most of the public won't care about the details. The basic idea is very simple; you mark the approvals that you care about, and leave the rest to your designated candidate. Each voter can choose between Asset Voting or Approval Voting or anywhere in between, and the ballot is no more complex than the familiar Plurality ballot (and harder to mess up).<br>
