Hi, I'm serving on the Santa Clara County Citizens' Commission on Elections and we're working to recommend settings for machines tabulating ranked choice voting.
One of the settings deals with what to do when there is a tie for last place during a round. The settings allow looking at the vote totals in previous rounds. The following options are available: • None: ties are broken manually. • Backwards: the system attempts to break ties using vote totals in previous rounds going backwards from the round preceding the current round to the first round. • Forwards: the system will attempt to break ties using vote totals in previous rounds going forward from first round to the round preceding the current round. Is there anything in Steve that allows tie breaking? Thanks, Craig Craig L Russell c...@apache.org
