 | 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. |

 | Sorry I'm late. Did you already figure it out? We were the only two declared Libertarians in the race |
7.11.13 19:18 | 
 | Found my notes - ward order this time around is: 8, 11, 3, 13*, 9*, 5*, 7, 6, 10, 12, 2, 4, 1
*race needs RCV elimination(s) |

 | 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 in their 11th and final swap - she'll be eliminated in Round 25 and he in R26. |
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 |

 | 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 |
