--well, whether this is a "down side" depends on your point of view. I personally regard the fact 3-ballot works best with Approval & Range as yet another argument in favor of those systems and against, e.g. Plurality, Borda, Condorcet, & IRV (in ascending order of strength of this argument against them). --PS. Hey B.Olson, I saw your cool BetterPolls.com site. I think it would be nicer if the user (poll creator) got to choose the range. You force -10 to +10, but some poll user might prefer 0 to 99 or 1 to 1000 or whatever. CRV attempts t give reasons to prefer 0-99, http://rangevoting.org/Why99.html wds ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
