<p>IBIFA very naturally meets Plurality, Minimal Defense and
Non-Drastic Defense so it occurred to <br>
me to use it as a "Condorcet-completion" method thus:<br>
<br>
*Voters fill out out either unlimited rankings ballots or
multi-slot ratings ballots. <br>
<br>
A pairwise-beats-all candidate wins. Otherwise carry on the IBIFA
process until a <br>
Smith-set member qualifies. If only one does that candidate is
elected.<br>
</p>
<p>If more than one does in the same round, then simplest and
probably good enough<br>
is just to elect the one with highest score in that round.*<br>
<br>
(That last provision is Bucklin-like as in original IBIFA. Using
the Smith set the more<br>
complex Relevant Ratings and the possibly a bit arbitrary-looking
"revised IBIFA"<br>
I think would be very unlikely to give different winners.)<br>
<br>
I think this is my favourite method that meets both Condorcet and
Minimal Defense.<br>
<br>
Also it can be used with an approval cutoff to meet what Forest
was asking for on 30 May 2019.<br>
<br>
All rankings/ratings would be used to identify the Smith set, but
for the IBIFA stage ballots would<br>
be treated as if they truncate all their unapproved candidates.
The default should be approval of<br>
all candidates voted above at least one candidate.<br>
