Probably. (Raul? Anthony?) Must a supermajority-required option directly defeat the default option by this margin? What happens if the supermajority-required option only transitively defeats the default option? How do we numerically define the margin of the defeat? I am concerned about the introduction of supermajority requirements introducing an opportunity for strategic voting into our system that Cloneproof SSD/Concorcet doesn't otherwise possess. -- G.
