I won't comment on the first link, but I don't buy that second link at all. Assuming that it's referring to the C code from elsewhere on their site[0] (boldly claimed to be 'the world's first "reality based" statistics') then isn't it weird to model honest range voting by just adding some Gaussian noise to the true utility and then scaling the results back into [0, 1]? At that point your computer simulation just measures how closely the voting system agrees with range voting.
