[EM] Range voting is just a Borda count with a bunch of throwaway candidates

Title more or less says it. Imagine we have range voting from 1 to 20,
with 9 candidates. Then imagine we have a simple Borda count with 20
candidates, 11 of which we can presume are trash - joke write-ins, dead
candidates, disqualified people, hopeless losers, whatever. The end
results are the same, including all the nasty stuff we complain about
Borda counts.
