How to get ranked-choice preferrers to accept Score-Voting.
⸘Howdy‽
For some reason, some prefer ranked ballots over scored ballots. I say we give to them what they want:
I:
"So you want to rank. Well now, I can give to you ranking not just with positive values but negative ranks as well."
Ranked Voter:
“⸘I can express extreme displeasure without burying the evil candidate under zillions of donkey-votes‽
I:
“¡Yes!”
Ranked Voter:
“¿How?”
I:
“Let us suppose that you rank Thus:”
Mary:
“+1”
Ed:
“+2”
Carl:
“-2”
Sylvester:
“-1”
“We count those as 1 over your rank:
Mary:
“1/+1”
Ed:
“1/+2”
Carl:
“1/-2”
Sylvester:
“1/-1”
“For making counting easy, we use 2520, the least common multiple of all counting numbers unto 9, and multiply it by your score:
Mary:
“+2520”
Ed:
“+1260”
Carl:
“-1260”
Sylvester:
“-1520”
"We simply sum the votes."
“The full range of absolute values are thus:”
2520
1260
0840
0630
0504
0420
0360
0315
0280
¿What is your opinion about uniting score/rank-voting thus?
¡Peace!

Well, your argument includes describing the method you're going to use to count the ballots. So this could only work on people who have a preference about ballot format but no preference about the method used.

Ranking can always be inferred from ratings if enough ratings slots are
available to give each candidate
a different rating.
"Some people" like the idea of the Single Transferable Vote algorithm
and others like the idea of always
electing the Condorcet winner.
Neither of these concepts have any use for ratings or "score" ballots.
I am a bit disconcerted by the concept of "negative ranks".
The method ⸘Ŭalabio‽ proposes seems to me to be very Borda-like (and
therefore not good).

i am of the latter persuasion. whenever someone other than the Condorcet winner is elected (assuming there is a CW), then we've elected someone where the voters have marked their ballots that they prefer someone
else. this is what happened in Burlington Vermont in 2009.
Neither of these concepts have any use for ratings or "score" ballots.
yup. Score ballots require tactical voting from voters. How high should we score our second choice? Too high and we
help our second choice beat the first choice. Not high enough and we help our third choice beat our second choice. What to do, what to do?
I am a bit disconcerted by the concept of "negative ranks".
yup. bad idea.
