If everyone bullet voted, then the N candidates with the most votes
would win the seats.

Any candidate which exceeded the quota would win immediately, but
there would be no transfers.

Thus the candidates would be eliminated one by one from the lowest
candidate until the remaining candidates are deemed elected without
hitting the quota.

In a single seat case, the winner would be the plurality winner.
