Let me try again, illustrating with a small state that has 5 EC delegates to award: 5 ------------------- | 4 -- | 3 -- | 2 -- | 1 -- | 0 -----------+-----+ + + + 48% 49% 50% 51% 52% In other words, I'm proposing a "stair-step" function near the 50% mark. --Steve ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
