@jack-waugh but that’s always the tradeoff with score systems, which is why people bullet vote and/or min-max (translate to approval). I totally understand what you’re saying though.
I’m not saying the “Condorcet adversary” should be the score winner, just that they should be a strong alternative. Your approval-seeded Llull ballot could accommodate an approval winner as the Condorcet/Smith-method’s adversary, for example.
I think a “rank with approval cutoff” ballot makes sense. Then there could be the approval winner, and, say, the B2R (Smith compliant) winner, followed by an independent head-to-head.
