Mr. Davidson wrote in part -
A wasted vote is a vote that does not end up on one or another of the
winning candidates [in a legislative body election].

D- It is rather rare that I can both understand and agree with some of Mr.
Davidson's comments.
Both Hare and Droop fans may wish to note the relatively simple STV example
of having 5 candidates in an at-large election with 3 winners and 11 voters.
How many wasted votes are possible in such example ???
