Yes. That's what I meant. How about this:
3. Any (non-default) option which does not defeat the default
option by its required majority ratio is dropped from
consideration.
1. Given two options A and B, V(A,B) is the number of voters
who prefer option A over option B.
- 2. An option A defeats the default option D by a majority
- ratio N, if V(A,D) is strictly greater than N * V(D,A).
- 3. If a supermajority of S:1 is required for A, its majority
- ratio is S; otherwise, its majority ratio is 1.
+ 2. An option A defeats the default option D by its
+ required majority ratio if both:
+ (a) V(A,D) is strictly greater than V(D,A); and
+ (b) if a majority of N:M is required for A,
+ M * V(A,D) is greater than or equal to N * V(D,A).
