Ken,

I did not test Plurality.  I think it is very strange that you found it to 
be better than Approval.  ...

That's odd. Approval turned out pretty well in my sims.

Here's an example of the kind of Bad Thing that can happen with 
Approval. There are 3 candidates (A, B, C) and 10 voters. I am using 
signed CR's in the range -1 to 1 (CR>0: approve, CR<0: disapprove). 
Following are the sincere CR's:
9 voters: A(-1), B(0.1), C(1)
1 voter: A(-1), B(1), C(-0.1)
avg CR: A(-1), B(0.19), C(0.89)
approval: A(0), B(10), C(9)
plurality: A(0), B(1), C(9)
