It's official! After 33 rounds (hey, I lasted halfway!), Betsy Hodges and Mark Andrew were left - Hodges was declared the winner with 38,870 votes (48.95%) to Andrew's 24,972 votes (31.44%). Exhausted ballots were 15,573 (19.61%). So I needed juuuuuuust about 38,680 more votes - if you're gonna fall short, fall WAY short.

@zackstephenson Sorry I'm late. Did you already figure it out? We were the only two declared Libertarians in the race

*race needs RCV elimination(s)

@pyry Ward 13 CM will be next, I believe - then Ward 9, then Ward 5

The Charter Commission wasted no time putting forward a proposal to increase the filing fee for mayor from $20 to $500. I ALSO wasted no time taking to E-Democracy.org to complain about it. (Link to E-Democracy.org: Unelected Charter Commission Unanimously Approves Recommendation to Increase Mayoral Filing Fee to $500)

By 1 vote, James Everett pips @akbformpls in their 11th and final swap - she'll be eliminated in Round 25 and he in R26. #MPLSmayor
7.11.13 17:05 
Interesting (only to me?) thing about RCV counting is that Ms. Bennett & Mr. Everett have changed places 10 times so far #MPLSmayor

@illustrousbeast Whoa, I figured you already knew me. You might like to join us over at the-w.com !
7.11.13 13:07 
@votempls This is probably a bad time, but you've misspelled Rahaman's first name every time so far
7.11.13 12:59 
@swirlspice 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.

When Clark is eliminated, check the "exhausted" pile gain to see how we probably split the (massive) libertarian vote #MPLSmayor
7.11.13 12:27 
Interestingly (?), I have passed the largest number of votes in any round - 54 to the "blessed" LP candidate #MPLSmayor #tlot
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!

Let the record reflect that, by 5 votes, I will have lasted one more round than Mr. Wagner #MPLSmayor

@jpreyno 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 #MPLSmayor
