Can't you just scale everyone's votes to the same range?

You could. That would be a reasonable thing to do.

I suppose you could even do an iterative process: rescale, remove the lowest-scoring candidate, rescale, remove the lowest-scoring candidate, and so on until there's a winner. That'd be like STAR but with multiple runoffs instead of one.
