Thanks for the info. Jonathan. Do you or does anyone know if this muti-seat IRV method that splits votes of voters to their second choice candidates after some winning candidates receive the threshold amount of votes, exhibits non-monotonicity or not like the normal IRV method does? If so, is there an example posted somewhere?
Thanks.
