I found this at your site:
Rated Vote, equal sum
In raw Rated Vote, more opinionated voters get more say. While that maximizes the happiness measurement of this simulation, maybe it's not fail. So, counterweight all votes such that the sum of positive or negative votes cast (absolute value) by a voter is 1.0.
This is weird and unsound. In Cardinal Ratings (aka Range Voting), in which voters all score the candidates on some scale and
then the scores are simply added-up and the candidate with the highest total wins, there is no real significance to "positive" versus
"negative" votes. Scoring a candidate on a scale of -1 to 1 is exactly the same thing as scoring on a scale of 0 to 2, or 7 to 9.
