Largest remainder methods: Half votes rounded down, party receiving less seats about condorcet HOT 5 CLOSED

HI @anonymous7002
If you have the ability to produce a test data set with the expected results and stats. It can help.

On the substance of the concern, I will look into it as soon as I have some brain time available to dive back into the intricacies of this method, probably after the weekend :-/

Thanks for the report.

@anonymous7002 What do you mean about 23.5 votes / 48? Condorcet don't support decimal in vote weight.

If I try something like: A*23;B*20;C*5 => 96 seats for A.
If I transfert one more vote to A: A*24;B*20;C*4=> 100 seats for A
Now, If a emulate an half by double the vote: A*47;B*40;C*9 => 98 seats for A

23.5 votes / 48 means that out of the 48 votes, 23 voted A, and one voted both A and some other candidate as their first choice, hence the vote is split between the two.

Let's see with this one:

bin/condorcet Election -c "A;B;C" -w "A*23;B*20;C*4;C=A" --seats 200 --stats LR

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 'Seats per Candidates':                                                   |
|     A: 97                                                                 |
|     B: 85                                                                 |
|     C: 18    

Look good for me.

If not any precisions about the bug or clarifications, I will close the issue ;-)
