I said "approval", not "Approval". I read Range ratings of A-1, B-9,
and C-2 as saying B is much more strongly approved than A or B.
Saying it backwards, ranking A-1, B-9, and C-2 in Condorcet makes B
more approved than A or C, but the ranking shows only equality or
inequality, while the amount of inequality neither has value nor is a
problem for Condorcet voters to have to labor to decide.
In summary, I do prefer Condorcet over Range - but do consider each to
be better than IRV or Plurality.

Hi,
Considering that Dave always disliked Approval (because it lacks
expressivity), I consider the below quote a compelling suggestion
that Range shouldn't be used in public elections. He judges Range
entirely by its ballot, taking it at face value. Won't a number of
people do the same thing?

Range/score also permits voting for multiple
candidates. Its ratings permit varying strength of
approval among rated candidates - both more power and more
complexity than Condorcet.
