Line 16:
 
# Each voter grades each candidate on a grading scale such as A, B, C, D, F
# The top-grade (eg, A) votes for each candidate are tallied.
# If a single candidate has a majority (that is, a number of votes greater than or equal to 50% of voters), they win.
# If no candidate has a majority, the next grade down (eg, B) is added to the tally, and go back to step 3.
# If more than one candidate has a majority, the last grade tallied is removed from the tallies, and then re-added at the smallest fraction possible so that some candidate has a majority. This is as if the votes at that grade were added 1% at a time until one candidate gets a majority.
 
The above process is conceptually simple, but difficult in practice. The following process gives the same results, and is simpler to run in practice:
 
 
# Each voter grades each candidate on a grading scale such as A, B, C, D, F
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
If medians are converted to integers (such as 0-4), then the adjusted median scores can easily be reported alongside the full tallies.
