Once a [[Range Ballot]] begins to be used, the scores could be tabulated and reported in several different formats for comparison. It might even be of benefit to randomly choose the winner between the Range Voting winner, [[Schulze]], [[Definite Majority Choice]], and [[Cardinal Pairwise]] using [[River]]. Since all four methods have similar sincere voting strategies but different "gaming" methods, it would encourage voters to simply vote by preference instead of trying to work around the system.
Once a [[Range Ballot]] begins to be used, the scores could be tabulated and reported in several different formats for comparison. In order to avoid strategic voting, one could introduce unpredictability by choosing the winner randomly by [[Range voting]], [[Schulze]], [[Definite Majority Choice]], or [[Cardinal pairwise]] using [[River]]. Since all four methods have similar sincere voting strategies but different strategies in the case of cycles, it would encourage voters to simply vote by preference instead of trying to game the system.
