 | This is probably a bad time, but you've misspelled Rahaman's first name every time so far |
| 7.11.13 12:59 |
 | I can't disagree there, but if you ran for months/year, why not wait until you're mathematically eliminated? For your supporters |
| 7.11.13 12:44 | 
| I officially finished 21st out of 35.
Also, the MN Libertarian Party may have excommunicated me. I'm not sure. |
| 7.11.13 12:29 |
| 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! |

| 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 |

| 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 |
