The overarching goal of defeat-droppers is to elect a candidate who is "closest" to being a [[Condorcet winner]] i.e. to minimize the number of "overruled" voters.
These are [[Condorcet methods]] which only differ from [[Minimax]] in situations where there are more than 3 candidates, or pairwise ties when there are 3 or fewer candidates. Defeat-dropping Condorcet methods that pass [[Independence of Smith-dominated Alternatives]] are equivalent to [[Smith//Minimax]] with a Smith set of 3 or fewer candidates with no pairwise ties between them.
