Line 6:
Once a [[Ratings 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.
I would prefer to avoid primary elections. However, they may continue to be required during a transition period. If that is the case, I would recommend using
* Favorite + [[Range voting]]. As above. Narrow field to at least 2 candidates, who would include the most-favored, most-approved, second-highest approved, plus any other candidate with a pairwise beatpath to the most-approved.
