election_title: "Exercise 14 — The transfer machine, fully ranked (BV probe variant)"

scenario_description: |-
  The same nine voters as ex14_two_novels.yaml with every ballot completed
  to a full ranking — 5×(Austen>Bronte>Camus>Dickens), 1×(Bronte>Camus>
  Austen>Dickens), 3×(Camus>Dickens>Bronte>Austen). The added trailing
  rankings are never reached by any transfer, so the quota, the rounds
  and the seats are identical to the exercise — under whichever of the
  two published Droop quotas the count applies: Austen elected in round
  1, her surplus transferring to Bronte, and Camus taking the second
  seat. Seats: Austen + Camus.
  This variant exists as a bug probe: BetterVoting's STV tabulator
  returns a server error on the exercise's truncated ballots (BV2201,
  tk776t) — and, it turns out, on this fully-ranked copy too (BV2202,
  bj8dfc), acquitting truncation. The bug has since been fully DIAGNOSED
  (probes BV2203-2205): any STV count whose eliminations leave ONE
  remaining hopeful who then reaches quota crashes — BV's IRV.ts
  redistributes the winner's surplus over an empty candidate list, and
  [].reduce with no initial value throws. This count is exactly that
  shape (Camus elected last and alone). Full bisection, evidence table,
  and ready-to-file issue: 06_Other/STV/bv_stv_sole_survivor_crash/;
  narrative: ex14_transfer_machine.md.

TABULATION RESULTS
======================================================================

--- STV / Single Transferable Vote (multi-winner — 2 seats) ---
  Exercise 14 — The transfer machine, fully ranked (BV probe variant)
 Tabulating 9 ballots (ranked ballots).
 2 seats; quota = 3.00 (exact Droop, votes/(seats+1)) — 33.3% of 9.
 Elected at >= quota, and every surplus is measured from it.
 (Hand-count Droop, floor(9/3)+1 = 4, is a different but equally standard rule.)

ROUND 1
Candidate      Votes  Status
-----------  -------  --------
Austen             5  Elected
Camus              3  Hopeful
Bronte             1  Hopeful
Dickens            0  Hopeful

FINAL RESULT
Candidate      Votes  Status
-----------  -------  --------
Austen          3.00  Elected
Camus           3.00  Elected
Bronte          3.00  Rejected
Dickens         0.00  Rejected


Winner(s) — STV / Single Transferable Vote (multi-winner — 2 seats)
  Austen
  Camus

--- Smith Set (the generalized Condorcet winner) ---
The smallest group whose every member beats every candidate outside it —
the honest answer to "who is even in contention?".
   Smith set (1 of 4): Austen
   Outside (3):        Bronte, Camus, Dickens
   One member ⇒ Austen is the Condorcet winner, beating every rival head-to-head.
