===About Equal Vote===


By "equal vote" or "equality" means "one person, one vote (100 points)".
Given a score with points distributed in the following order: A[50] B[30] C[15] D[5] E[0]


* In the DV the voters at the beginning all have 100 points to distribute according to their preferences, therefore equality is satisfied.
you can always get a counter-balancing by exchanging the order of the points: A[0] B[5] C[15] D[30] E[50]
* During all the counting steps, through the use of normalization, it ensures that all voters continue to have 100 points each, always distributed according to their interests, therefore equality is satisfied.
* The result is one of the counting steps, in which equality continues to be satisfied.


There is no passage in the DV where equality doesn’t met.
Applying the count only considering the 2 votes defined above, you will always obtain equality between the two candidates to the extremes of the vote (in this example, equality between A and E).

These 2 votes in the end support only 2 candidates out of the initial 5, so adding those 2 votes to a tally with other votes, can change the results of the tally.
