== Background ==
The name "DMC" was first suggested [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-March/015164.html here]. Equivalent methods have been suggested several times on the EM mailing list:
* The Pairwise Sorted Approval method/implementation was first proposed by [[Forest Simmons]] in [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2001-March/005448.html March 2001].
* The Ranked Approval Voting method/implementation was first proposed by [[Kevin Venzke]] in [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2003-September/010799.html September 2003]. The name was suggested by Russ Paielli in 2005.
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.
