> I like range voting (of which approval is a special case). It's simple, and it always takes everybody's point of view into account (it doesn't lose any voter information), which is a really nice property IMHO. I don't agree with the claim "it doesn't lose any voter information"; unless voter preferences are aligned, any preference aggregation method must lose information. (More broadly, this happens with any statistic.) You probably know this, so I think you meant something slight different? Can you elaborate?
