> My preferred voting mechanism would be a hybrid

This is the system advocated by Bruce Schneier[1], I wish it would get more traction. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me...

Wow. The bitter part is that I googled and found that I first suggested something like this in 2007, three years after Schneier. (It would have felt great to claim that 'Bruce Schneier later formed a similar opinion.')

Heck, it is even possible that I merely parroted Schneier's idea; I do read him on occasion, but not as often as I should!

Arriving at the same solution independently probably just adds to its merit. It's a good solution IMHO.
