Election - Formula for determining if runoff election is necessary

1) Obtain official tally - sum of all votes cast (sum)
2) Multiply sum by .0025 (threshhold). Round the threshhold to a whole number.
3) Calculate each candidate's margin by subtracting the vote total for each candidate from the vote total for the candidate who received the most votes (margin)
4) Compare each candidates margin with the threshold. If the margin is greater than the threshhold plus one, the candidate is eliminated.
5) If after elimination, there is only one candidate left (ie, the one who had the most votes and thus whose margin was zero), that candidate wins the election.
5) If there are other candidates (other) who are not elimnated (their margin was greater than zero but less than or equal to the threshhold plus one), these other candidates should be offered the opportunity to participate in a runoff
6) If one or more of the other candidates chooses to participate in a runoff, the runoff election should take place on the second tuesday of December.
7) The runoff election itself would be decided who who gets the most votes. There would be no runoff of the runoff, even if the margin of victory is one vote. If the runoff ends in a tie, they would flip a coin.
