Since the surplus should have been 0.80, rather than 0.82 (as the Morton surplus should not have been transferred), the fifth count should instead read:<br /><br />Usaama Kaweesa + 0.40 votes<br />Callum Leslie + 0.40 votes<br /><br />and the totals should then be:<br /><br />Usaama Kaweesa 2.40 votes<br />Callum Leslie 1.92 votes<br /><br />As I said, it doesn't affect the results.Richard Gadsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545595590359552775noreply@blogger.com
