[EM] High Resolution Inferred Approval version of ASM

[C.Benham]

Forest,

With paper and pencil ballots and the voters only writing in their 
numerical scores it probably isn't very practical for the Australian 
Electoral Commission
hand vote-counters.

But if it isn't compulsory to mark each candidate and the default score 
is zero, I'm sure the voters could quickly adapt.

In the US I gather that there is at least one reform proposal to use 
these type of ballots. One of these, "Score Voting" aka "Range Voting",
proposes to just use Average Ratings with I gather the default score 
being "no opinion"  rather than zero and some tweak to prevent an unknown
candidate from winning.

So it struck me that if we can collect such a large amount of detailed 
information from the voters then we could do a lot more with it, and if we
want something that meets the Condorcet criterion this is my suggestion.
