Distributed 2-Voting: Difference between revisions

Unrated candidates (unknown ones) receive 0 points. The vote, after normalization, consists of 100 points distributed, and starting from this observation:

# Inin the positive vote, it's better to favor the approved candidates, instead of using limited points on unknown candidates.

# Inin the negative vote, it's better to favor the less disapproved candidate (compared to the most disapproved), instead of using limited points on unknown candidates.

# Rare case: if there was only one disapproved candidate in the negative vote, the voter could assignuse -1the 100 negative topoints allon unknown candidates favoring them unfairly. This case is rare because: if the candidates are few, then theythere are hardlyno unknown candidates; if there are many candidates then it's very likely that at least two differently disapproved candidates are present.

Overall D2V doesn't favor unknown candidates. D2V supports that unknown candidates must not be favored in any way.
