 | When Clark is eliminated, check the "exhausted" pile gain to see how we probably split the (massive) libertarian vote |
| 7.11.13 12:27 |
| Interestingly (?), I have passed the largest number of votes in any round - 54 to the "blessed" LP candidate |
| 7.11.13 12:22 | 
| TWO DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY: Round 17 is complete and I have officially been eliminated. I'm the 20th runner-up. My 194 votes have been transferred to other candidates, where applicable. (If you voted for any of the 20 people above me #1 but ranked me #2 or #3, I never got your vote - you should switched us and kept me alive one more round!)
I always said my main goal was to not finish last, so in that respect I have succeeded beyond expecations. ;-)
Thanks to everybody for sharing this experience with me! |

| 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!

| 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? |

| 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 |

| 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. |
