, 3 years ago→Score voting
Line 61:
One way to understand why a voter should give maximal support to their lesser evil if their favorite isn't viable: if, whenever a candidate is very unlikely to win, the voter pretends they aren't in the election i.e. got eliminated, then eventually the voter will have a candidate who is their "favorite of the remaining candidates". If they are normalizing, then they ought to give this candidate the max score, and likewise give their least favorite of the remaining candidates (i.e. the greater evils) a 0.
It might help when thinking about using negative scores in [[Score voting]] to imagine a Score scale of -1 to 0. This would be equivalent to Approval voting, essentially. In addition, keep in mind that a vote on a scale of - 1 to 1 can be converted to a scale of 0 to 2 by adding 1 point to every candidate in each vote.
One way to understand a voter's absolute score for a candidate is that they are expressing their degree of support for that candidate pairwise against a candidate they don't support at all.
