Single-issue voters drive senators to ignore majority - US senators seeking re-election “flip-flop” on bills related to gun and environmental policies, playing to preferences of single-issue voters rather than majority, which could explain why bills don’t pass, even with overwhelming support.

I don't think your response answered any of his concerns. The problem is what is to prevent someone from exhausting the ballot on purpose. It would seem to me that if I want my guy to win I would be doing that.

The second part you completely side stepped. It's not "one person one vote". It is how many points does first place get? 1 point? And second place? 0.5 points perhaps? Then someone takes advantage of the man by being the mostly likely to be voted second. Say the powers that be doesn't like that. They now change that number to 0.3 points instead. So instead of a simple one person one vote system you've essentially created a mathematical game ripe with the ability to be exploited by some semi clever politician.

A good example would be the book/movie moneyball. Which is centered around baseball where a GM created a dominant team by using statistics instead of the physical component.

It wouldn't be about representing your electorate anymore, just finding the position able to least offend anyone and accomplish nothing.
