[EM] STV Quotas

[Greg Dennis]

hi electoral specialists,

I'm programming some voting software that will support STV (as well as a 
virtually every other voting method), and I have a quick question about 
the quotas used in STV, such as Droop, Hare, and Imperiali. in some 
places, I've seen the formulas for these enclosed by greatest integer 
brackets, and other places they have not been. which is technically 
correct? wouldn't which you choose affect, albeit slightly, the number 
of surplus votes a winning candidate is deemed to have?

thanks,
Greg
