How scoring works — why votes are weighted
Bigger neighborhoods have more residents, so they'd rack up more raw votes no matter what. To keep this a fair fight, every neighborhood gets a handicap — like in golf — based on its size. Smaller neighborhoods get a boost; larger ones are scaled down. The winner is whoever rallies the biggest share of their community, not whoever simply has the most people.
