--well, whether this is a "down side" depends on your point of view.
I personally regard the fact 3-ballot works best with Approval & Range
as yet another argument in favor of those systems and against, e.g.
Plurality, Borda, Condorcet, & IRV  (in ascending order of strength
of this argument against them).

--PS.  Hey B.Olson, I saw your cool BetterPolls.com site.
I think it would be nicer if the user (poll creator) got to choose
the range.  You force -10 to +10, but some poll user might
prefer 0 to 99   or   1 to 1000   or whatever.
CRV attempts t give reasons to prefer 0-99,
