      @marcus-ogren Good point. The idea behind the Critical Score is to boost candidates with isolated support. It's possible that it goes too far, as you've highlighted. I just found that to sort of achieve the effect I was looking for, I would need a really big exponent for the Power Score.

      I wonder how it all washes out in more realistic scenarios, but it's valid to consider someone putting themselves on the ballot and literally not telling anyone just to then score themselves 5 stars. Perhaps there's some kind of balancing that can be built in, but I suspect, on the general advice of James Quinn, that that would likely cause new problems.

      @brozai right there can be, but there isn't always. When there isn't a single Condorcet winner or Copeland winner, as often as not there are three that are tied.

      @jack-waugh That would be identical to Borda.

      Kind of similar to what I was doing in Codepen, for instance here:

      https://codepen.io/karmatics/pen/eYJxXge

      Mine looked like this (when there is only one of a particular vote combination, there is no number and colon on the left needed):

      134: a[5] b[4] c[2] d[1] e[0] f[0]
      64: a[5] b[4] c[3] d[1] e[0] f[0]
      94: a[3] b[5] c[4] d[1] e[0] f[0]
      70: a[2] b[2] c[5] d[2] e[0] f[0]
      63: a[0] b[0] c[0] d[3] e[4] f[5]
      55: a[0] b[0] c[1] d[3] e[5] f[4]
      55: a[0] b[1] c[2] d[3] e[5] f[3]
      48: a[0] b[0] c[1] d[3] e[5] f[5]
      30: a[1] b[0] c[0] d[3] e[3] f[5]
      30: a[0] b[1] c[2] d[5] e[5] f[4]

      You can see I have a parser and all that.

      This one worked with the format of data from an actual election in Maine, which is an ugly and bulky csv format:

      https://codepen.io/karmatics/pen/eYJxoMa

      I was doing this when I was hoping that Codepen embedding would be added to this forum, not sure if that is in the works. But I think if it was, having a standard format would gain a lot of traction here.
