Kevin Venzke posted some news about range voting strategy.
I have now written considerably more extensive simulator than his
(but inspired by his) and the results are interesting.
    
Somewhat contrary to what Venzke seemed to be concluding,
my conclusion is that "honest" range voting (scaled
so you score the best candiate the max, the worst the min,
and the rest linearly interpolated)  is an impressively
good voting strategy in the random voter zero info 
statistical setting.
