Your implementation seems relatively easy to integrate with Jeff O'Neill pSTV. If this were done, then it should be possible to execute STV-CLE over all the database and therefore compare with all the other major forms of STV. pSTV and the database are at

Davis, Henrietta
Decker, Marjorie C.
Galluccio, Anthony D.
Maher, David P.
Murphy, Brian
Reeves, Kenneth E.
Simmons, Denise
Sullivan, Michael A.

For CambSC2003.blt (school council):

Fantini, Alfred B.
Grassi, Joseph G.
Harding, Richard, Jr.
Lummis, Ben
McGovern, Marc C.
Walser, Nancy
