The SAV score of a range ballot r for a coalition C can be written as a fraction with numerator
Sum over x in C of r(x),
and denominator
Sum over all x of r(x).
Note that when r is an approval ballot the numerator is the number of alternatives in C approved by r, and
the denominator is the total number of alternatives approved by r, so this is a straightforward
generalization of SAV to range ballots.
