Clarifications on my claim that range voting strategies use extremes: 1) This claim is only valid in large elections, not small ones. See Myerson and Weber's paper, which is cited in mine, for details on the reasonable assumptions made for this claim. 2) It is true that if a voter is indifferent to voting for a candidate or not, 0.5 is also a rational vote. But whenever 0.5 is a rational vote in Myerson and Weber's model, all other votes are rational too.
