Northeast CJO doing his thing: DECISION JUNE '10

[Ameriplan]

(Red portions added to original post on edit.)

I can post the math shortly, but after a few initial rounds, a few things are apparent.

First, with 54 registered voters, we are filling (54/6) = 9 seats. With 19 total voters, the quota will be [19/(9+1)]+1 = 2.9 -> 3.

ROUND 1
AndrewCT (DA) 9 *elected
Winston Disraeli (AWP) 2
hantheguitarman (POP) 2
redcommander (POP)  1
electoraljew2 (POP)  1
justw353 (DA)  1
FallenMorgan (ind) 1
EarlAW (write-in) 1
WilliamSargent (write-in) 1

AndrewCT is deemed elected on the first round; the transfer value of his votes are thus 0.667.

The only other candidates* receiving votes, at any level of preference, are:
DC cutie (1 second pref; 1 sixth pref; 1 eigth pref)
JJ (1 fifth pref)

It is the opinion of the CJO that neither of these two candidates will exceed the existing threshold of 1 vote (sigh). As such, the following nine candidates are elected:

AndrewCT (DA)
Winston Disraeli (AWP)
hantheguitarman (POP)
redcommander (POP)
electoraljew2 (POP)
justw353 (DA)
FallenMorgan (ind)
EarlAW (write-in)
WilliamSargent (write-in)

*It is worth noting that cinyc cast write-in votes for a number of candidates. However, because he voted "4" twice (and did not vote "3"), the CJO cannot precisely determine voter intent and can only count his vote through the second preference.

Whoops!  I could have sworn I proofread my vote.

The Registrar reported that there were only 50 registered voters as of 12:00 midnight on the Friday of the election.  See the Census thread.  Shouldn't we have 8 seats?

nooooo

There were (and still are) 50 registered voters in the Northeast.

Well then. I guess I'm just plain bad at this. 

If we're electing 8, then I would presume the odd man out will be EarlAW, who had absolutely no preferences beyond his own. IIRC, all the other candidates had transfers. I'll double check when I get in to work tomorrow.

I don't think Earl was actually a valid voter - (post requirement.)

EarlAW voted in the federal election and Franzl didn't deem his vote invalid for federal purposes.

I fixed the results above to elect 8.

Whether or not EarlAW's vote is valid has no effect on the results.
