Line 7:
'''Candidates pre-rate each other''' as "approve" or "disapprove". Candidates may not approve more than half of the incumbents. These pre-ratings are public.
'''Voters rate candidates at one of 4 levels: "prefer", "approve", "don't know/delegate", or "disapprove".''' (These might also be labeled "good", "OK", "don't know", and "bad".) Default is "don't know". Voters may approve or disapprove of as many candidates as they like, but they are encouraged to prefer only one. If they prefer more than one, their vote is counted as several equal fractions; for instance, if they prefer A and B while approving C, their vote is counted as half a ballot which prefers A and approves B and C, and half a ballot which prefers B and approves A and C.
'''Any "don't know/delegate" ratings for candidate X are delegated to the preferred candidate.''' That is, they are changed to "approve" ratings if over half the candidates Y (, Z, etc.) who were "preferred" on that ballot pre-approved X. Otherwise, "don't know" is changed to "disapprove".
