Minor addition to my last posting-
With a 0 to 100 scale, there would be 101 units.
The 51 to 100 (50 units) would be YES.
The 0 to 50 (51 units) would be NO.
Similar for 0 to 10-- 11 units
6 to 10 (5 units) would be YES.
0 to 5 (6 units) would be NO.
To keep things somewhat simple (for the lots of not genius folks who are
voters), I would suggest the 0 to 10 scale at most.
For most folks there is best- better- OK- not OK (4 types) so a 0 to 10 scale
can handle the various choices.
The zero could be dropped to have the number of upper and lower units (but
again I note that lots of voters would like to vote absolute NO -- zero --
for many candidates).
