Ranked voting is supposed to prevent winner take all strategic voting. Voting by score encourages you to score everybody at zero except your favourite(s). This arguably means there will be less information in the vote tallies, although it gives voters more control over how their opinion will be responded to, and that is valuable

this is obviously false. simply consider that green party supporters usually vote democrat. with score or approval voting, they'd ALSO want to vote for the green.

whereas with ranked voting methods, they'd still strategically rank the democrat in 1st place, crushing any hope for the greens.
