[EM] Range Voting Strategy

Clarifications on my claim that range voting strategies use extremes:

1) This claim is only valid in large elections, not small ones. See Myerson and
Weber's paper, which is cited in mine, for details on the reasonable
assumptions made for this claim.
2) It is true that if a voter is indifferent to voting for a candidate or not,
0.5 is also a rational vote. But whenever 0.5 is a rational vote in Myerson and
Weber's model, all other votes are rational too.
