election_title: "Range / Score Voting 101 — highest total score wins"

scenario_description: |-
  The simplest score election. Three candidates, five voters grading 0–5.
  Range (Score) voting just SUMS the grades — highest total wins, no runoff and
  no elimination. Beth has broad, strong support across both camps and wins on
  total score (21), ahead of Cole (15) and Amy (11). Tabulated by the range
  engine (pref_voting score_voting, cross-checked against a hand sum).

# Range is a non-EVC method (see 06_Other/README_06_Other.md). It is tabulated by
# 06_Other/Range/Range_tabulation_engine/range_tabulation.py (pref_voting), NOT the STAR engine.
# Any score ballot can be read as Range.
