Score Voting is superior. In the Olympics people are not classified as 1st, 2nd, 3rd until their scores are averaged. Political elections ought not be any different. Jumping to cardinality loses a lot of data and is relatively useless for comparing candidates across eras. Nice diagrams, but I would like to see Score Voting (Range Voting) featured as well. The hype behind Ranked Choice is strong, even though we would never use such a method to award Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals.
