    There are counting discrepancies? That’s not good. Some people like to say that ranked choice voting is “confusing”. Of course it’s not confusing to vote, but the tabulation can be – hopefully not for the election officials!

    I wonder how many voters took advantage of the situation and filled in more than just their 1st choice. Fairvote says that 84% had a winning candidate on their ballot, while the winning candidates received 47% 1st choice votes.

  6. “When the votes for the 6th place candidate were distributed, the other candidates received more votes than he had received.”

    The instructions say: “Vote for not more than 2”, for that office. Possibly, some voters cast only one vote for #1, but two votes for #2.

  7. @AZ,

    The general election is vote for two by plurality. There will be two Democrats, one Republican, and one independent.

    There is no reason that all eight candidates could not have run in the general election using STV. Republican and independent voters would have some influence over which Democrats were elected.
