The one thing I find iffy about score voting (or range voting) is that there's a decent chance people will just score everyone 5~8. This would give more voting power to people that deliberately only use 0 and 10.
So I'd advocate approval voting. Just vote for the options that you find acceptable, the option with the highest acceptance rate wins.
- pgcj_poster 7y ago> there's a decent chance people will just score everyone 5~8 That sounds incredibly unlikely to me. I don't think I know anyone who would rank both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as a 7. To the contrary, it seems like people will almost always put either 0 or 10, making it not much different from approval voting.
- contravariant 7y agoThat is a rather extreme example, but still I don't think many people will actually fill in a 0, plenty of 2s and 3s maybe. Besides, like you said, if everyone always puts either 0 or 10 then it's the same thing as approval voting anyway so it can't hurt to just use approval voting.
