[EM] Re: Alternatives to Borda Count

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

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).
