Prof. Brams helped invent App.V. in the early 1970s.

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V. [for ALL executive and judicial offices]
Approval voting usually allows the majority to win a super-majority.
The 9th USA Parliament has been using pure proportional representation for twenty consecutive years, it’s fun and works fine:

And now there is the new International Parliament:

The somewhat longer term more accurate remedy is Condorcet Head to Head math (from the 1780s, repeat 1780s)–
1. Number rank choices – 1, 2, etc.
2. with YES/NO Approval voting tiebreaker.
Would require 100 percent secure voting systems – i.e. even more secure than the most secure WAR plans and orders.
