This is already how it works. Those red/green bars in post lists are driven by a Wilson score for the post based on the numbers of up and downvotes. Post & answer sorting is also based on these Wilson scores. If you hover over the vote counts on any post, the Wilson score will be displayed in a tooltip. We don't _display_ this score, instead opting to display the vote counts, because the raw counts are more intuitively understandable — "5 people like this post and 2 people don't" is more understandable than "this post is scored 0.3333333333 out of 1" (which does _not_ mean that 33.33% of people liked it). Regardless, a lot is based on it behind the scenes.
