election_title: The seat nobody wanted — a field with no enthusiasm
scenario_description: |-
  A 100-ballot water-district board election in which nobody is popular. Two
  candidates are widely known and widely disliked, one is barely known at all,
  and one is a protest option. 82% of every score cast is a 1 or a 0; a
  scattering of die-hards give a 4 or a 5. Somebody still has to win.

  The point is not who won — it is what the report says about HOW they won.
  Beth wins with 88 stars out of a possible 500: an average of 0.9 out of 5.
  A Choose-One count would report "Beth, elected" and stop. STAR's scoring
  round publishes the number that tells the winner to tread carefully, and
  tells the next cycle's candidates that the seat is there for the taking.

  Watch Colin's two averages. He is not disliked — he is unknown: 78 voters
  left him blank, and the 22 who did rate him averaged 2.3, the highest real
  support in the election. "Nobody has heard of him" and "everybody dislikes
  him" produce nearly the same total, and only the Abs column tells them apart.
