This is a program built by Desmond Silveira for tallying single transferable vote (STV) ballots. If a file in the BLT format (first described by Hill, Wichmann & Woodall in Algorithm 123 - Single Transferable Vote by Meek's method) and popularized by OpaVote is uploaded, a tally is generated. In the generated tables, cells shaded in green are for those candidates that have been elected in the sub-round and cells shaded in red are those that have been excluded.

This implementation is specifically designed for use in the internal elections of the American Solidarity Party. The Wright system is used, but instead of the Droop quota, the Hagenbach-Bischoff quota is used, and instead of ties being resolved by lot, ties are broken by using ranked pairs (RP) among the candidates that have tied.
