It has the potential to cause cumulative voting like effects. This is especially true in the initial rounds. Approval and range votings main point is that you can give anyone a high rating without it hurting you. Also, you would treat [+5,-5] different from [+10,0] >> It id heard to determine which plot refers to which method.

Fair enough. Maybe use dotted lines and dot-dash for those 2 ones. Alternatively, since the plots don't cross much, you could arrange the names in the same order as the resulting curves. >> If only 2 candidates remain, then it will set the window as max and >> min of those candidates. > > I think that's pretty similar to what I'd planned to implement.

Ofc, the more complex you make it, the harder it is to explain. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
