[EM] "we only get one shot" (Re: RCV Challenge)

[Richard Lung]

In the SS Stevens scales of measurement, the classificatory scale is 
less precise than the ordinal scale. So, in my view, it is better to 
have ranked choice or preference votes than classes of votes. (I take it 
that approval voting uses the latter.)

Binomial stv is a transferable vote (unlike approval voting, I believe). 
Indeed binomial stv is a transferable vote of unpreference (its 
exclusion count) as well as of preference (the traditional stv election).

Regards,

Rchard Lung.
