Vote::Count::Range
Range or Score Voting is another form of preferential ballot.
There are a fixed number of Rankings available, usually 5, 10 or 100.
Voters (typically) may rate choices equally.
Voters rate their best choice highest, the inverse of Ranked Choice.
Range Voting is usually resolved by using the ratings assigned by the voters as a score. By fixing the number of available rankings it resolves Borda Count's weighting problem. Condorcet can resolve Range Voting, but the ability to rank choices equally increases the possibility of ties. When resolving by IRV it is necessary to split the vote for equally ranked choices.
See Vote::Count::ReadBallots
Score is a method provided by Vote::Count::Score that will score the ballots based on the scores provided by the voters.
Creates a runoff between the top 2 choices. Implemented in Vote::Count::Method::STAR.
Vote::Count::Matrix supports Range Ballots. Choices scored equally are not counted in pairings between the equal choices.
Vote::Count::IRV supports Range Ballots. Equal Scores are split. The split votes are tabulated with Rational Number Math to protect against rounding errors.
Precedence, Approval, all and none currently support Range Ballots.
