At this point we have: A with 2x1st pref, 1x2nd pref (or 3 any pref votes) B with 5x1st pref, 1x2nd pref (or 6 any pref votes) H with 10x1st pref, 2x2nd pref (or 12 any pref votes) K with 4x1st pref, 5x2nd pref, 1x3rd pref (or 10 any pref votes)
The lowest by any measure is A, so I will eliminate A and proceed to produce a count On 15 December 2014 at 10:24, Stephen Connolly < stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> wrote: > > In Round 3, E only has 2nd preference votes (I could have eliminated E > earlier, but given the transfers it makes no difference to the result...)
