PPT declarations are expired - I'm willing to say it's Yankee, unless we absolutely have to have a vote between Yankee and Write In. Can we just dispense with that? Anyway, he's the tenured prof here as far as I'm concerned. You can't have his job.

Seriously, though, twenty-four hours remain for committee voting, and I believe two senators are left to vote.

I am fairly certain that we have to have the vote. It has never been skipped before that I recall. Perhaps we can look at an OSPR amendment to remove the necessity when only one person has declared.

The only one left to not vote is Kalwejt, "The Crazy Pol".

Spam his inbox every hour until he votes.

[DemPGH]

Please select your preference for PPT:

[  ] NCYankee
[  ] Write In

Make it official, people! 72 hours or until we have six votes - I want to put this to bed.

Also, when the committee votes go final a little later today, could someone who has experience with it assist in tallying the preference votes?

And Yankee, I believe I PMed you on the VP legislative slots / agenda. Okay, think that's all for a little while.

[MaxQue]

Yankee (through I appreciate the vote for me, TNF).

I suppose I have to count the committee vote as in the last Senate?

[DemPGH]

Yankee is confirmed as PPT.

Max, would you let me know how you figure that, hopefully an efficient way, and if you wouldn't mind, would you do it? Thanks!

[MaxQue]

Quota: 10 votes, 3 seats : (10/(3+1))+1 = (10/4)+1 = 2.5+1 = 3.5 => 3 votes to be elected (always round down)

GOR:
1st count
Yankee: 3 (Yankee, Scott, MaxQue)
TNF:2 (TNF, Gass)
Napoleon:2 (Napoleon, sbane)
TJ:2 (Hagrid, TJ)
Kalwejt: 1 (Kalwejt)

Yankee reached the quota, he is elected. Kalwejt is eliminated.

2nd count
Yankee: 3
Napoleon:3 (Napoleon, sbane, Kalwejt)
TNF:2 (TNF, Gass)
TJ:2 (Hagrid, TJ)

Napoleon reached the quota, he is elected. As TNF and TJ are tied at all rounds, it’s not clear what process is used here. Also, 5 persons referenced TNF higher than TJ and 5 lower than TJ. If we count 2nd preferences, TNF wins 2-1 (Me and Scott-Yankee)

Judiciary:
1st count.
TJ:3 (Yankee, Hagrid, TJ)
MaxQue: 3 (TNF, Gass, MaxQue)
Kalwejt: 2 (Napoleon, Kalwejt)
Napoleon:1 (Sbane)
Scott:1 (Scott)


TJ and MaxQue reached the quota, they are elected. Kalwejt is eliminated. Same tie issue here. Napoleon wins 2-1 on second preferences, but Scott is ranked over Napoleon on 7 ballots. Anyways, if Scott is eliminated, Kalwejt reach 3 and if Napoleon is eliminated, we have a 2-2 tie, but Kalwejt leads on the previous round and is then elected.

Sorry to be so helpless.

MaxQue, is there any better counting method to be used in the future to avoid those issues?

No? That kind of preferential voting isn't very appropriated for such small a population, but any knind of FPTP would cause all committee members to be centrist and/or wouldn't solve ties issues.

I suppose we should just settle on a way to brake ties. Current electoral law counts the number of preferences (but, as everybody preferenced everyone, everyone had 10 and I think it's a very dumb way of breaking draws) and then, Senate voting to break the tie (which can be assumed to be taking the highest ranking preference in the tie for each Senator). And that's assuming than the version of the law on the Wiki is the current one.

[Napoleon]

We do have a way to break ties- his name is DemPGH.
