I might have. The closest thing I can find is "Majority Approval Runoff," a three-slot method that I had to rescind because it failed Majority Favorite unless a special case rule was added... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/election-methods-list/message/12490 Wed Oct 8, 2003 But "Demorep" is the first I know of to suggest the sort of method you've got: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/election-methods-list/message/335 Sun Jul 5, 1998 >As I have mentioned many times, I suggest that there be a YES/NO vote on each >candidate in elections for executive and judicial offices along with number >voting (1, 2, etc) on each choice (since number voting by itself does NOT show >any approval whatever- all of the choices might be unacceptable to some >voters). > >Only the YES majority candidates would go head to head using the number votes. >Such YES/NO vote is a form of Approval/Disapproval voting. > >Another circular tiebreaker-- >Eliminate the candidate (or remaining candidate) in a tie with the smallest >YES majority vote and recheck the head to head math to see if there is a >Condorcet winner among the remaining candidates.
