This case backs sheet row BV130 and the star-server#731 report — a REPORTING/UI issue: Bloc STAR results are shown as browser "tabs" (one per round) and should use numbered pages instead. The tabulation itself is correct and has a clean, tie-free result, so the LH engine simply confirms the winners; the bug is purely how BetterVoting displays the three rounds, not the math. Winners (both engines): Someone I Like, Santa Claus, The Lesser Evil. NOTE: do not confuse this with BV130-r2 (election 9ff9jk), a separate 4-ballot retest built around a dead-rung lot tie — see bv130r2_dead_rung_bloc.md. num_winners: 3 voting_method: Bloc STAR # BetterVoting registry (machine-readable; the tabulation engine ignores these). bv_test_id: BV130 bv_election_id: yhxy7q bv_results_url: https://bettervoting.com/yhxy7q/results # Live results: https://bettervoting.com/yhxy7q/results (Bloc STAR, k=3; clean, no tie) ballots: |- Johnny Cash,Elvis Presley,Santa Claus,The Lesser Evil,Someone I Like,Apocalypse Now 0,2,4,3,5,0 0,2,4,3,5,0 0,2,4,3,5,0 2,1,3,4,3,2 2,1,3,4,3,2 2,1,3,4,3,2 2,1,3,4,3,2 1,1,5,2,5,0 1,1,5,2,5,0 expected_winners: - Someone I Like - Santa Claus - The Lesser Evil # file: bv130_bloc_pagination_731.yaml ====================================================================== TABULATION RESULTS ====================================================================== === BV130 — 6 candidates / 3 winners, Bloc STAR (original; star-server#731) === The LH reference for BetterVoting test BV130 (the ORIGINAL, not the r2 retest). 6 candidates, 3 seats, 9 ballots.
