Expressivity
Plurality |
Name just one candidate. Then shut up. We're not interested in any more.
(Least information you could possibly express, aside from zero.)
|
IRV |
Rank the candidates in order. But if you want to say two candidates are equal?
Or that you have no opinion about, e.g, two judge candidates, but have opinions
about the others?
Or that you prefer Tom over Hitler by a lot more than you prefer Alice over Tom?
Sorry! You have no way to do those things.
|
Range Voting |
Any score 0-99 for every candidate. Both good? Both bad? Equal? Big differences?
Small differences?
No problem. Candidates you want to express no opinion about? No problem – you
can say so ("intentional blank") and then that candidate's score will be purely determined
by the other voters just as if you did not exist.
