[EM] Question on RCV/IRV multi-seat method used in Minneapolis

[Kathy Dopp]

Thanks for the info. Jonathan.

Do you or does anyone know if this muti-seat IRV method that splits
votes of voters to their second choice candidates after some winning
candidates receive the threshold amount of votes, exhibits
non-monotonicity or not like the normal IRV method does?  If so, is
there an example posted somewhere?

Thanks.

Kathy
