[Election-Methods] a strategy-free range voting variant?

[Jobst Heitzig]

Another small remark:

With N voters total and B benchmark voters, the size D of the deciding 
group should probably be O(sqrt(N-B)).

This is because the amount transferred to an individual deciding voter's 
account is roughly proportional to D times a typical individual rating 
difference, hence the total amount transferred to the deciding group is 
proportional to D² times a typical individual rating difference. The 
same total amount is payed by the group of at most N-B-D compensating 
voters. Each of them should not be required to pay more than a constant 
multiple of a typical individual rating difference, hence D²/(N-B-D) 
should be O(1).
