Here no "majority agrees" that any candidate should be eliminated!
 
== So ties have to be discussed ==
 
I think I sent a suggestion in private email, but here it is again.
 
The initial page I put up was intended as a public elections proposal. So I wasn't thinking about ties.
 
In DMC, we eliminate candidates that lose pairwise matches to higher-approved candidates. Call the set of remaining candidates P.
 
If there is a tie, or if in a public election there is a near-tie (difference of, say, 0.01%), what about forming the superset P*, the union of all P's resulting from all possible reversed close races.
 
Then choose the winner by [[Random Ballot]].
