The results are highly ambiguous without a runoff, as the result that
was initially reported was for M&M, but V is the clear winner if we
weight the results, which we probably should as voting was for three
choices in order of preference, not merely for three choices.

A-and don't forget all of the Hanging Chads!  (and who doesn't love
their new hit, "Your Vote Doesn't Count, but a Corporation's Does?"
