RE: [election-services] EML v6.0 - PUBLIC REVIEW COMMENTS
Joe,

My thought would be to design a generic structure construct that can support arbitrary calculation results sets - that way whatever the method used - we can store interim results and the iteration outcomes.

Thanks, DW

I should say that I still wonder about supporting arbitrary

alternative voting methods.  I know STV and IRV and cumulative voting

are used quite a bit... but the other methods mentioned in the first

commentors comments seem pretty obscure.  Should we support them now

or after they meet some threshhold? best, Joe
