Good Morning, Jameson
re: "Each voter grades each candidate from A to F. Voters may
give as many or as few of each grade as they want. Then
each candidate's grades are put in order and the similar
grades are evenly spread out. For instance, grades of B
(3.0) are evenly spread over a continuum between B+ (3.5)
and B- (2.5)."
It is not clear how or why grades should be adjusted. If a voter gives
a candidate a grade of B, what is the justification for changing it to
B+ or B-? More to the point, what is the benefit? If a candidate gets:
Grade Voters
A 26,781
B 173,904
C 155,781
D 121,121
E 81,286
F 19,663
can not the candidate's grade be calculated without adjusting the value
of any of the voters' wishes?
