Modified Borda Count

Peter Emerson
Binary voting is primitive, often divisive, always Orwellian, sometimes hopelessly inaccurate, and at worst, a provocation to violence. May I suggest, therefore, that at the very least, Mentimeter offers the user a choice of decision-making methodologies, and this choice should include both the MBC and the Condorcet rule.

Your methodology is called the Borda Count.

The better methodology is the Modified Borda Count, MBC, which is what M Jean-Charles de Borda originally proposed in 1770. (Please see my e-mails for details.)
