 | Why concede when you're still mathematically alive? What politician does that? (Well, besides Mark Andrew, I mean) |
| 7.11.13 10:23 |
| If Don Samuels hasn't conceded yet, (1) it's an underreported story (2) he may be only "major" candidate to "get" RCV |

| Up to Round 15 and I haven't been eliminated yet! I'm up to 192 official votes but only 4 votes ahead of Mr. Wagner. Mr. Baxter will be next eliminated (180) and then we'll see if it's him or me (or if I miraculously pass Mr. Clark (206) or Mr. Hanna (214)) - they may stop counting for the day at midnight, so I just might last one more night!

| I DO pity the poor City Council candidates who have to wait for the runoff to complete before THEIR runoffs can start, though |
| 6.11.13 16:53 |
| It's not a "too many candidates" problem, it's a "process needs improvement and refinement" problem; it'll continue to get better |

| If Stroud and Workcuff stay tied after next round, do you flip a coin to determine elimination or eliminate 'em both? |

| 6.11.13 12:41 |
| The spacing between candidates doesn't give any place for a "batch" elimination when you're only counting 1sts |
| 6.11.13 12:41 |
| Even though my math says only top 3 or 4 are mathematically viable, they may only be able to eliminate 1 candidate per round |
| 6.11.13 12:39 |
| The demonstration revealed that there is A LOT of manual cutting and pasting involved |

 | There were lots of elections! |
| 5.11.13 22:53 |
| After the first round, I'm 21st, behind Hanna and Clark BUT ahead of Wagner! We'll see if my vote totals go up any more as they drop people off the bottom. I received 170 1sts, 435 2nds and 422 3rds - 1027 total. If I somehow received all of these votes without anybody ahead of me increasing THEIR total, I could get up to 8th. This is extremely unlikely. I sorted and formatted the results and posted 'em over on the board (http://CRZ.us/515342), or you can create your own spreadsheet from the Secretary of State's page I linked earlier. |
| 5.11.13 22:46 |
| I DID get 6 more votes than , though, so perhaps NOT showing you MY nipples WAS the right choice (Cc: ) |
| 5.11.13 22:38 |
| Anyway, it looks like I can't possibly do better than 8th (probably won't even get close), so consider this my concession tweet. |
| 5.11.13 22:37 |
| Now that I think about it, they may not even eliminate 35th until they allocate any 2nd/3rds from the 117 "undeclared write-in" 1st choices |
| 5.11.13 22:34 |
| I can't figure out a good way to decide which up to 154 2nd place votes would belong to which candidates, though (Wilson + write-ins) |
| 5.11.13 22:26 |
| So now we see if I understand RCV correctly - because 34th could pass 33rd, everybody but 35th moves into the next round...right? |
| 5.11.13 22:08 |
| Who'd Bob Carney bribe to get included in the KARE ticker? I have almost triple the votes he's got! |
| 5.11.13 22:01 |
| This election is so crucial that the top story on all 4/5/11 10PM newscasts is...it's snowing. |
| 5.11.13 21:53 |
| Thanks again to you and ! |
| 5.11.13 21:48 |
| Thank you! If I finish ahead of Mr. Wagner (6 votes ahead as I type this), you will have played an important part |
