>then think about how they might distribute their points Just to be clear, you're not imagining people have to share their vote between parties are you? Range voting means you can give every party 100 if you want to. >If I love candidate B and C, kind of like D, and hate candidate A, but all of candidate A's supporters are bullet-voting, how should I vote? If you really hate A so badly that you think any one of B, C or D would be vastly better, then go ahead and give them all 100. If A not getting in is that important to you then your "strategic" vote is in fact, an accurate representation of your preferences.
