Thanks to everyone who participated in my voting system's trial run. Everything seems to have worked as expected.
There are some issues regarding security that Claude has alerted me about, and a couple of requestsâ€â€one to have the user names be case insensitive, and another to send email confirmation of the vote. Hopefully, these will be addressed by the time we run a real election.
For the record, here are the results:
There were 13 people who voted; the raw scores are:
JLA: 30
TITANS: 28
XMEN: 20
[b:2q7sglt3]edit:[/b:2q7sglt3] ack! my raw scores computation for individual rankings has a bug. Updated the scores below to reflect real scores.
Individual scores for JLA candidates:
Gwyneth Llewelyn: 11
Calmtommy Lowell: 7
Mezumi Akula: 6
Individual scores for TITANS candidates:
Brian Livingston: 11
Eugene Pomeray: 8
Coyotestorm Tully: 7
Moon Adamant: 4
Individual scores for XMEN candidates:
Flyingroc Chung: 15
Aliasi Stonebender: 13
Sudane Erato: 13
Kazuhiko Shirakawa: 9
According to the Sainte Lague method, JLA gets 2 seats, TITANS gets 2 seats, and XMEN gets 1 seat. So, the initial composition of the RA would have been:
Gwyneth Llewelyn
Calmtommy Lowell
Brian Livingston
Eugene Pomeray
Flyingroc Chung
Note that we have a case where if the XMEN got 2 seats, we'd need a mechanism to break the tie. Has nburg experienced this sort of tie before, and if so, how did we manage to break it? If not, how would we want to break the tie?
