If a candidate has a surplus, Don't you have to scale down all their votes to the weight of their surplus votes and transfer those surplus votes at a transfer value to make sure that the results are proportional? And also, 25% should be the threshold for a four winner election, not for a three winner election. If it's three people who have to be elected in a Legislative constituency, the threshold should be 33.3%.
@@1dgram Don't randomize it. It's got to be the actual fraction. And also, 25% should be the threshold for a four winner election, not a three winner election. If it's three people who have to be elected in a Legislative constituency, the threshold should be 33.3%
@@zacharybrand8145 for a 4 winner election it's got to be Greater Than 20%. Think about it, if 4 people each got more than 20% then there is less than 20% left for a fifth candidate

depends on the specific voting method used (whether it's the actual fraction or a randomized proportional subset) but yes
