After looking in to it some more, I think one of the strong arguments for STAR is that scoring captures more information about voter preferences than ranking does. The fact that some voters might have a very strong preference for a candidate who isn't quite the Condorcet winner is relevant.
- godelski 6y agoYes, this is a big feature I like of cardinal systems, particularly STAR and range/score. Although I would take approval voting any day of the year since it captures most things while being simplistic. But I think in an more information based world and where we make policies based on information, a simple voting mechanism where we can capture fine voter preference should allow us to better govern the society (assuming good intentions).
