Dear Eric,

Furthermore, it is possible that for every election method an

For Approval, it would be not selecting the cutoff at the right spot.
When Approval Voting is being used, then it is not possible that a
voter makes the result worse from his point of view.
If a voter sets the cutoff in the wrong spot and approves and option
they really did not want to see win, but then causes that option to win,
they have made the result worse from their point of view.
The other side of that coin is setting the cutoff too high, above a
mediocre candidate, thus causing the mediocre candidate to lose to
someone this voter considers to be a true reject.
