They’re doing this by hand!?
This is hugely embarrassing. When I went in to vote using the new ranked-choice voting system, I figured the votes would be automatically tabulated, and whatever statistics necessary would be performed by software, to determine in each race who the winner is.
Sadly, it turns out no such software exists. The tabulation is being done by hand. What century is it? This is just pathetic.
But I guess the system might turn my preferred Park Board candidate into a winner, so I guess that would be a good thing.
