The dotted line represents
the number of votes that guarantees victory (33.3% of counted votes).
In the first round, the first choices on each ballot are tallied.
A tie was resolved by choosing a candidate at random.
Veronica Davidson has enough votes to guarantee victory and is declared a winner.
In the end, 100% of all cast ballots counted toward a winner. You should be able to see that the winners have a more equal mandate in the final round than in
the first round.
Note that even the "highest first-round votes" method is more democratic than most
methods used in US public elections: the "vote for 2" method, which
allows the largest block of voters to dominate, and the district method, where choices are restricted
to the one or two viable candidates within geographical boundaries drawn by the politicians in office.
The
Ballot Depth section shows how much lower rankings contributed to the tally.
