[EM] How to get ranked-choice preferrers to accept Score-Voting.

[Kevin Venzke]

 Well, your argument includes describing the method you're going to use to count the ballots. So this could only work on people who have a preference about ballot format but no preference about the method used.

    For some reason, some prefer ranked ballots over scored ballots.  I say we give to them what they want:

I:
    "So you want to rank.  Well now, I can give to you ranking not just with positive values but negative ranks as well."

Ranked Voter:
    “⸘I can express extreme displeasure without burying the evil candidate under zillions of donkey-votes‽

I:
    “¡Yes!”

Ranked Voter:
    “¿How?”

I:
    “Let us suppose that you rank Thus:”

Mary:
    “+1”

Ed:
    “+2”

Carl:

    “-2”

Sylvester:
    “-1”

    “We count those as 1 over your rank:

Mary:
    “1/+1”

Ed:
    “1/+2”

Carl:

    “1/-2”

Sylvester:
    “1/-1”

    “For making counting easy, we use 2520, the least common multiple of all counting numbers unto 9, and multiply it by your score:

Mary:
    “+2520”

Ed:
    “+1260”

Carl:

    “-1260”

Sylvester:
    “-1520”

    "We simply sum the votes."

    “The full range of absolute values are thus:”

    2520
    1260
    0840
    0630
    0504
    0420
    0360
    0315
    0280

    ¿What is your opinion about uniting score/rank-voting thus?

    ¡Peace!
