Line 2:
# Voters score each candidate in the district from 0-5.
# In step 3, we will be choosing winners and "using up" the voting power of the ballots which most helped them win. In order to do so, we begin by setting the "remaining voting power" (RVP) of each ballot to 1.
##
▲# Until all seats are filled, repeat the following steps:
###To calculate a candidate's "remaining score" on each ballot: it is either their score on that ballot, or the maximum score times the remaining voting power on that ballot; whichever is less.
▲## Using the current ballots and their weights, find the two "frontrunners", the candidates with the highest total remaining scores.
##
###For example: let's say the quota was 10. If candidate X is rated 5 on 6 ballots with an RVP of 1.0, 6 ballots with an RVP of 0.5 (bringing total RVP so far to 9.0), and rated 4 on 6 ballots with an RVP of 1.0 (bringing total RVP to 12.0, and thus more than one quota), then their threshold score would be 4.
### If there is a tie, break it using total remaining score. (Possible alternative tiebreakers: total score over the top Droop quota of ballots; or, total over top two Droop quotas of ballots)
## Exhaust one Droop quota of max remaining score.
### All ballots which (originally) scored the winner higher than their
### All ballots which score the winner at exactly their constituent score are treated equally, partially exhausted.
#### First, calculate the fraction E of each of these ballots that must be exhausted in order to exhaust one
