election_title: Co-op board — 0–5 score ballot, sss
voting_method: sss
num_winners: 3

scenario_description: |
  Nine co-op members elect a three-seat board. This file is the SCORE half of
  a matched pair: the same nine people, the same opinions, recorded once on a
  0-5 ballot and once as Yes/No approvals (approve iff score >= 3, in
  coop_board_approval.yaml).

  Both halves are counted PROPORTIONALLY -- Allocated Score and SSS here,
  seq-Phragmen / PAV / seqPAV on the approval file -- so the seat-filling
  philosophy is held constant and any difference is attributable to the
  BALLOT rather than to majoritarian-vs-proportional.

  Score totals: Chris 36, Ben 24, Dana 23, Ella 22, Amy 18.
  Both score tabulations elect  ->  Ben, Chris, Dana
  All three approval rules elect ->  Chris, Dana, Ella

  Ben and Ella swap, and the reason is the threshold. Ben is nobody's
  favourite and everybody's acceptable: his scores are 1,2,4,3,2,2,2,5,3 --
  a total of 24 with NOT ONE ZERO. Ella's are 4,0,3,4,5,0,2,4,0 -- a lower
  total of 22, but five of them clear the 3-star line and three voters give
  her nothing at all. Approval counts them 4 to 5 and seats Ella; the score
  ballot counts them 24 to 22 and seats Ben.

  An approval ballot cannot see a floor. Everything below the threshold --
  Ben's steady 2s from the whole room -- is erased, and a bare 3 counts
  exactly as much as a 5.
