It would be interesting to see what would happen if we had automatic run-offs until someone got at least 50% of the vote.
Bottom first place vote getter drops off and those second choices get added.
In this case bottom three would not have mattered that much to the total, but if Turner was then next to drop off, how would those voter's second preference gone? I suspect Locke would have won under that format.
