Editing Score voting (section)

==Example==
{{Tenn voting example}}
Suppose that 100 voters each decided to grant from 0 to 10 points to each city such that their most liked choice got 10 points, and least liked choice got 0 points, with the intermediate choices getting an amount proportional to their relative distance.

Nashville, the capital in real life, likewise wins in the example.

For comparison, note that traditional first-past-the-post would elect Memphis, even though most citizens consider it the worst choice, because 42% is larger than any other single city. [[Instant-runoff voting#Tennessee capital election|Instant-runoff voting]] would elect the 2nd-worst choice (Knoxville), because the central candidates would be eliminated early (and Chattanooga voters preferring Knoxville above Nashville). In [[approval voting]], with each voter selecting their top two cities, Nashville would win because of the significant boost from Memphis residents.
