For what it’s worth, this is the correct method of counting that should have 
been followed. By typical IRV rules, the vote should already be over with H 
prevailing. 

The fact that only two choices remained by the second round does illustrate 
the problem even with IRV followed correctly, in that with so many options 
and so few voters, the system doesn’t really work effectively. But I have 
much less of a problem with this outcome because it came as a result of the 
stated counting method. 

I still stand by my current latest, to quote Daniel, “dunce cap troll 
proposal”—who’s committing personal attacks now, hypocrite? After seeing 
these proposals in action lately I’m convinced all votes going forward should 
be exclusively yay/nay votes.
