Line 14:
"Ballot exhaustion" occurs when rankings on a voter’s ballot prevent their vote from being counted and determining the election’s end result. The selection in this particular race is then discarded, and does not influence the final outcome.
'''RCV False Claim''': If your first choice is eliminated your next choice will be counted - this term is used to describe a specific kind of wasted vote in RCV.
Definition: Ballots where down ballot rankings that could have made a difference were not counted because
# the election was called before the votes transferred
# the next choice was eliminated before the vote transferred (failed transfer ballots / exhausted choices)
=== Exhausted ballot and exhausted ranking ===
