Weak Participation
Adding a new ballot shouldn't cause the defeat of the candidate whom that ballot votes over all of the other candidates.
Comments:
Causing that candidate's defeat is much worse than merely causing a lower choice to lose to a still lower choice. Weak-Participation is more important than Participation.
Instant-Runoff meets Weak-Participation. Majority-Judgment and Condorcet fail Weak-Participation.

Famous quotes containing the word weak:
“The great fact was the land itself, which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy’s mouth had become so bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
