Actually, what Paul wrote about was the original Asset proposal. I proposed Fractional Approval Asset Voting (which might normally mean that voters would vote for one, but they are *allowed* to vote for more than one), to make the ballot practical and simple. In FAAV, if you vote for N, the vote is divided fractionally, as 1/N, to each candidate you vote for. But the original proposal allowed votes to be real numbers in the range of 0 to 1, with the restriction that they sum to one. If that is what we wanted, we would probably normalize the ballots, to avoid problems with math errors. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
