Line 9: * First Choice plus [[Range voting]]. Single First Choice as above, plus a score of 0 to 99 can be given to any number of other candidates. First Choice is also assumed to have highest score (i.e., 99). In the event that no candidate has a majority (>50%) of First Place votes, use the same Approval fallback as above, except cumulative ratings score is used instead of total approval votes. Why do I favor [[Range ~~Voting~~voting]] over [[Approval voting\|Approval]]? It allows the voter to show a lesser preference for some candidates, if only to encourage them to keep contributing to public discourse. And perhaps more importantly, it can be used to infer [[Preferential voting\|candidate rankings]] by sorting the candidate's ratings in order from highest to lowest. Candidates with equal ratings would be given equal rank. Once a [[Ratings ballot]] is used, the scores could be tabulated and reported with 5 different methods for comparison: Top First Choice ([[First Past the Post electoral system\|Single vote]]); [[Range voting]]; plus 3 robust [[Condorcet method\|Condorcet completion methods]]: [[Schulze]]; [[Definite Majority Choice]]; and [[Cardinal pairwise]] using [[River]].
