Ease minimum requirements #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
OpenSTV has certain minimum requirements for running elections:
(a) >1 candidate running
(b) >=1 seat to be filled
(c) more candidates than seats
(d) more ballots than seats
because fringe situations caused problems with the counting code.

A user requested easing these.

re: c)  What happens if there are 2 candidates, 3 seats, and no votes for one 
of the
candidates?
