Hi Donald: Yes, please bring your sample ballots.

I've put the ballots from our mock election last Discussion Night at
http://www.fairvotewrc.ca/resources/election-simulation/  I can add
your sample ballots if you send me the files.

I didn't do a good job of counting the STV ballots from our mock
election last time, so I want to count them again, this time following
a recipe, or several different recipes, and seeing the difference.

For those people not interested in the mechanics of counting ballots
there's lots of other stuff to discuss, such as the apparent support
for anything-but-FPTP from our Minister of Democratic Institutions:

Or the renewed enthusiasm for electoral reform in Prince Edward Island:

See you all next Monday!

- --Bob.
