Is everyone here aware of Score-Runoff Voting?

It's an amendment to Score meant to discourage Approval-style and
bullet-style strategic voting. (It encourages expression of rankings, so
your vote counts in the runoff, but doesn't require them, allowing
expression of indifference and strong vs weak preferences, which are
impossible with ranked ballots.)
Score-ballot open primaries followed by a top-two runoff election would be
similar, in that it finds most-approved candidates and alleviates
nervousness, etc.
