[EM] Help naming a new method

[Kristen Eisenberg]

Hi all,


I have a new voting method and I think I need some help naming it.  Let me
say, first of all, that I admit it may be too complicated for use by the
general public.  It's a score aggregating method, like Score Voting.


Each voter scores each candidate on a scale of 0-100.  Each candidate's
votes are aggregated independently, with their societal score given by
finding the largest number, x, such that x percent of the voters gave that
candidate a grade of x or higher.


So a candidate where 71% of the people gave a grade of 71 or higher (but the
same can't be said of 71+epsilon) will get a final score of 71.


It shares a strategy-resistance property with the median that any voter
whose score was above the societal score, if he were allowed to change his
vote, could do nothing to raise the societal score.  (Also, a voter whose
score was below the societal score could do nothing to lower the societal
score.)  This means that if you're only grading one candidate (e.g. choosing
an approval rating for the sitting president), then there is a strong
incentive for everyone to submit an honest vote.
