Thank you for this good example. However, I think there are cases where Score Voting is hard to implement: If we look at how we rank the countries in the Olympics, we usually look at the medals count. However, a country ranking 4th in every discipline is arguably better than a country ranking 1st in one discipline and last everywhere else. Ranked voting could be used here. It would be difficult to establish the ranking with Score Voting: is being 10% slower in a marathon the same as being 10% shorter in throwing?

I don't really understand how Range Voting is better than Ranked Voting. Won't voters only grade candidates with the maximal or minimal grade to have more impact? But then, Range Voting was supported by very smart people (eg Balinski, Arrow), so I will try to read more about it and hopefully update my website in the future :)
