Line 21:
# Tally votes
#* Each ballot counts as 1 point for the chosen candidate.
# Eliminate all candidates who didn't get overat least 1/32 ofas themany votes from their local riding, unless they gotas the most of anytop candidate in their local riding.
#* This makes sure that no riding is badly mis-represented just because a given party "deserves" more winners.
#* It also helps discourage voters from splintering into small single-issue parties. If a party can’t makepass 33%this threshold in even one localityriding, it won’t get seats. But those votes willcan still be transferred, so those voters can still be represented by a relatively sympathetic candidate from a slightly larger party.
# Find winners and transfer leftovers.
#* If V is the total number of valid (non-exhausted) votes, and S is the number of unfilled seats, then a “quota” is defined as Q=V/(S+1). This ensures that each full “quota” of voters will get a seat, with less than one “quota” of vote left unrepresented even though they still have a valid preference.
