We at the Center for Range Voting would greatly appreciate the opportunity to analyze anonymous ballot data when the election concludes, as part of our effort to scientifically research the various voting methods in a practical sense. The more evidence we have about the behavior of score voting in “real” (contentious) elections, the more ammunition we have to ultimately push for score voting in public elections.
