[EM] voter comprehension level of score, approval, and IRV (exit polls)

[Warren D. Smith (CRV cofounder, http://RangeVoting.org)]

It also is of interest to compare with plain plurality voting. 
How comprehensible/incomprehensible is that?
Well...  here's a telephone poll of 1485 USA citizens 
aged>=18 in January 2009
asking about their experiences voting.

Question 16c "I found my ballot to be difficult to understand"
  Agree strongly....................3%
  Agree somewhat.................7
  Neither agree nor disagree...2
  Disagree somewhat.............14
  Disagree strongly................73

Which for whatever it is worth indicates score voting is actually slightly 
more-comprehended than present USA ballots.
