See also [[Proposed Statutory Rules for DMC]].
It can be extended to use [[Range voting]] instead of [[Approval voting]] as its base: in that case, the method eliminates the least-rated candidate.
Its elimination logic is the same as [[Benham's method]], and the method can thus be thought of as a rated version of it.

== Alternative implementation ==
This implementation is called '''Pairwise Sorted Approval'''. It is the simplest of a class of [[Pairwise Sorted Methods]].
A voter ranks candidates, and specifies approval, either by using an [[Approval Cutoff]] or by ranking above and below a fixed approval cutoff rank.
To determine the winner,
# sort candidates in descending order of approval.
# For each candidate, move it higher in the list as long as it pairwise beats the next-higher candidate, and only after all candidates above it have moved upward as far as they can.
This procedure can be used to produce a social ordering. It finds the same winner as the Benham-form implementation.

* The
* The Ranked Approval Voting
The [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-March/015144.html philosophical basis] of DMC is to eliminate candidates that the voters strongly agree should ''not'' win, using two strong measures, and choose the undefeated candidate from those remaining.
