Yes. Thank you Doug. I woke up this a.m. realizing that fact.
However, then the City must admit that all voters who voted Doug>Meg and did not list a third choice, have their votes diluted to less than one vote, since the vote values these voters retain is 1 - 0.0434 In either case, no matter which way excess vote values are calculated, voters' votes are not valued nor treated equally, nor are the power of voters' votes equally applied to determine outcomes.
