scenario_description: |-
  The same ten ballots as ex12_bloc_sweep.yaml, tabulated as Allocated
  Score (STAR-PR). Round 1 elects the highest scorer, Asa (30) — and then
  ALLOCATES a quota's worth (10 voters / 2 seats = 5 ballots) of Asa's
  strongest supporters, spending most of the north side's voting weight.
  Round 2 runs on what remains: the north's leftover fraction gives Bram
  almost nothing, while the south side's four untouched ballots give Cleo
  20 — Cleo takes seat 2. Board: Asa (north) + Cleo (south), one seat per
  faction, matching their 60/40 weight. Same ballots as the Bloc STAR
  sweep, opposite philosophy: proportional methods spend a faction's
  weight as it wins seats so the rest of the room is heard. Exercise:
  ex12_bloc_vs_proportional.md. Ballots and cast are this repo's own.

  — BV's STAR_PR race agrees: Asa + Cleo. (Its results page banners the
  race "Tied!" — a systemic quirk of BV's STAR_PR serializer, which
  echoes the elected pair as "tied" with no round detail on every
  STAR_PR election, e.g. the older jwxr3j; the underlying scores here
  are a clean 30, then 20/16/4.)
