According to an older Droop quota I do my best to try to discredit using inside just my program, you would get Candidate D first. However, I did update my quota to votes/2+.0001 as a placeholder (as the votes increase +.000001 would be needed). With the new quota, Candidate A wins: First round: A: 2.375025 B: 1.700000 C: 2.437513 D: 1.416683 C is removed. Second round: A: 1.375025 B: 1.700020 D: 1.416683 B is removed. Third round: A: .750010 D: 1.250010 Final order: A>D>B>C Adding those four votes doesn't change the order, as during the final round A>D has 10 votes and D > A has only 9 votes. Sorry that the source code for the new quota has been up for only a short while. I still believe it complies with both.
