Fritz Election tracker

[Meeker]

Franzl would be elected under the current total. I just don't know exactly what the final margin between him and SPC would be.

[Peter]

1 more vote changes the quota. Its what I've been working with, and I assume what the RPP have as well.

[California8429]

So, who's really leading so far?

[Fritz]

I see what I did wrong...when I redistributed Sewer, the 0.12 should have gone to Afleitch instead of Jas.  But that all ends up with Afleitch anyway, so my end result is correct.

[Lief 🗽]

So, who's really leading so far?

RowanBrandon, Marokai and Fritz are almost assuredly elected.

Afleitch is looking to be likely elected, due to the heavy Jas vote.

Franzl and SPC are fighting for 5th.

[Peter]

Here's an interesting tactical quandry - it looks like Franzl is ahead right now, but if I vote for him, his lead over SPC acutally decreases. How I love STV.

Here's an interesting tactical quandry - it looks like Franzl is ahead right now, but if I vote for him, his lead over SPC acutally decreases. How I love STV.

So that is why DWTL has been trying to get people to vote for him

[Peter]

Right - I'm done for tonight. I've made the arithmetic a little easier for every one - a quota of 16 is so much easier to deal with. Only time will tell if I am in the fact the last vote.

[Meeker]

I still haven't voted... and you just made my decisions quite a bit easier.

----------------------------------

That ended up being remarkably even and simple in the end.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Is Franzl at exactly 15 and SPC exactly 13?  If so then than maybe I will be taking this to court

[Purple State]

I think Peter's explanation is a pretty sound one, honestly. But it's your Dave-given right.

[Lief 🗽]

Is Franzl at exactly 15 and SPC exactly 13?  If so then than maybe I will be taking this to court

...

Weren't you telling people to vote for Franzl?

[Alexander Hamilton]

Is Franzl at exactly 15 and SPC exactly 13?  If so then than maybe I will be taking this to court

...

Weren't you telling people to vote for Franzl?

Not over his own party. And the vote is disputed, so he has enough reason.

On what grounds?

Two disputed voters that registered on August 12 in their region's time.

Actually you weren't because three people that were planning on voting for me were harassed about it. (not disclosing) 7 minimum. And I got Torie's vote, who I didn't include in the 7. So basically, I did pretty much the worst I could do, which is disappointing.

I'd like to ask a question. This is probably not the right topic for it, but since we don't really have a place for this sort of question I'll still try here.

Well, I'm certainly not an expert in voting systems, but this has always interested me, so that I tried to research about that and now I know the basics. But there is something I don't understand about the voting system used for this election.
The Single Transferable Vote is suppposed to be a proportionnal system, selecting the 5 people that represent better the electors. In this case, why the quota fixed to be elected is 1/6 of the total votes insteasd of 1/5 ? If you fix it at 1/6 where there are only 5 senators elected, the representativity of the elected will be just slowly higher to 5/6, whereas we could have a 100% one with an 1/5 of the votes. This clearly hurts proportionnality of the system and can be dangerous.
If there is a reason why things are so, I hope someone could explain it to me, because this issue worries me since sometimes now. I admit that I can be wrong and will accept any sort of explanation. Thanks a lot.

I don't believe Antonio ever got an answer to his question.  Does anyone have an answer to this?

When Jas gets back from vacation he'll be able to explain it better than anyone.
