Did you?

Thank you so much I now genuinely understand the Borda Count Method!!!

[@erikzoe1]

Thanks for posting this very clear explanation. I disagree with your view that every voter's entire ranking being considered is a disadvantage. I see that as a very important strength in the system. A democracy must take account of every voter, as opposed to mere majority rule, or even worse, largest minority rule, which ignores everybody else.

Is there, by chance, a method of the Borda count that includes a "0" ranking for choices that voters just cannot abide? I think that would be an excellent addition. Like in this video example - What if I reeeally wanted to go to the Yosemite so... I rank Yosemite first, giving it 4 points. I think the Grand Canyon would also be cool so I give that my 3 points. I don't know anything about Arches, really, so since it's a 3rd choice, would need to rank it with 2 pts. (rather than skipping a rank to give it a 1, I would think. (Now that I think of it, I didn't consider how to deal with potential "skips" and that may be an issue with voting. Will have to think about that one.) But I can't stand the idea of going to Zion so I give it a "0" in order to purposefully denote my stance against the idea and lower the point count for the choice. Is there a method that considers that? Further, can one make a "0" rank or "non-vote" for more than one option? Say I want to vote "0" for Zion *and* Arches... That being said, would it be better to offer a ranking system of top-down, bottom-up to distinguish the ones you like best to least and also the ones you really don't like most to least? Would that require a "null" voting rank to put a buffer between the two options "preferred" and "not-preferred". Maybe it should be a 10 pt. down through 1 pt. ranking (unless there are more voting option; perhaps double the count or the votes?) Or would a negative point ranking system work for the "non-preferred" candidates? If so, would (or could) those count against the other candidates overall positive votes? Not sure about that last one. At least with governmental elections, anyway. Sounds like it could be used as a weapon, so to speak. It's already convoluted. And I definitely fear the potential for fraud & tampering. So, perhaps it would be best to stick to zeroes. But that means that the entire candidate list from all parties (including 3rd parties, etc.) would, of course, have to be ranked. Sorry... Got lost in thinking "out loud" so to speak. : )

Seems similar to score voting except with less expressiveness.
