Line 16:
* If there are several voters who have the same effective score (score x ballot weight) at the cusp of the Hare Quota then [[Fractional Surplus Handling]] is applied to those voters
# Repeat this process until all the seats are filled.
'''Fractional Surplus Handling to break ties''': when calculating which ballots belong to a candidate's quota, if for a particular score including voters that gave that candidate that score in the quota would make the quota to large and excluding it would make it to small, exhaust a portion of those vote's weights such that the total weight of the exhausted ballots still equals the hare quota. The reason why [[Fractional Surplus Handling]] is preferred is that it preserves the [[Independence of irrelevant alternatives]] and [[Monotonicity]] criteria that Monroe's method passes).
