iced quinn on Nostr: still wondering about doing something very silly like rating things with range voting ...
still wondering about doing something very silly like rating things with range voting on particular issues, and then treating each issue as a "voter" that then ranks with a borda count†.
the reason is because this would be voting based on multiple different issues about particular things. like when grading a state to move to "are the gun laws retarded" would be an issue of 1-10 and "are the abortion laws retarded" is another issue of 1-10.
each issue ends up with a different sorting of preference and the borda count merges the independent issues by simulating them as separate "voters" making a preferential choice
†dowdall rule, the one that kinda fixes borda
