Northeast Assembly Election Results (Correction)

[free my dawg]

Since rpryor is currently away right now, he's asked me to tabulate the results. Obviously, there's a bit of controversy going on, considering the mods hastily acted on JoMCaR/twistory's ban. My legal counsel currently says that since the bans were under false pretense, the de-registration does not count, and all votes are valid and twistory123's candidacy is also valid. It's also worth noting that the Northeast Electoral Commission's recommendations were not passed in time, so we will be going by the old way of doing things.

VOTE LIST:

1: RGN, twistory, Castro, pika, PGH

28 valid ballots/(5 seats up+1) + 1 = 5.667. The fraction is dropped, making the quota 5.

ROUND 1:
Castro: 6
RGN: 5
Twistory: 5
pikachu: 4
PGH: 4
evergreen: 4

Castro2020 is elected to the Assembly with surplus. His surplus vote will be 0.167 for each vote, transferring 4 votes to Pikachu, one vote to DemPGH, and one vote to a Person. RGN and twistory123 are elected without surpluses.

ROUND 2:
Castro: 5
RGN: 5
twistory: 5
pikachu: 4.667
PGH: 4.167
evergreen: 4.167

Since no candidates met the quota, the lowest amount of votes must be eliminated. Since there is a tie between DemPGH and evergreen for the lowest amount of votes, and it must be broken by a preference count.

DemPGH and evergreen both have four 1st preferences. Therefore, we must proceed to second preferences.

evergreen has 7 second preferences. DemPGH has five. Therefore, the tie is broken in favor of evergreen, and DemPGH is eliminated for having the lowest amount of votes.

ROUND 3:
Castro: 5
RGN: 5
twistory: 5
pikachu: 4.667
evergreen: 4.167
DemPGH: 4.167 (tie)

There are five candidates left for five seats.

Therefore, I hereby certify that Castro2020, RGN, twistory, pikachu, and a Person have been elected to the Northeast Assembly.
