This is a bit much, considering that there are many competing methods
that offer various worthy capabilities.
Looking at the ABucklin that you mention:
Assuming that I wish to elect A, but want to have B considered ONLY if
I cannot get A elected:
. I cannot say this with Approval, where I must give equal
approval to every candidate I approve.
. With ABucklin I can give B a lower rank than I give A, to be
considered only if A's rank does not decide on a winner.
