Responding to Mr. Cretney--
Look at the pdf document.
At start- 24 candidates plus 2 write-ins
1 candidate (Galluccio) had a surplus
4 candidates and the 2 write ins who had less than 50 votes (an arbitrary
number) were eliminated.
10 candidates were eliminated one at a time.
Just before the final elimination the votes were-
1878
1871 + 7 = 1878
1789 + 89 = 1878
1878
1878
1855 + 23 = 1878
1742 + 136 = 1878
1878
1878
1428 -1428 = 0 Triantafillou (final loser)
702 + 1173 = 1875 Exhausted ballots
18,777
1875 x 100 percent /18,777 = Just under 10 percent
If the Hare Quota was being used (18,777/9 = 2087), then there might be zero
Exhausted ballots.
