Hello all, I would like for Staff to please explain the voting results in cases where more tha one person stood for the position. In the results as posted below, one might conclude that Cintra and Glenn received the majority of votes and were thus the elected representatives. Yet I am informed that this not the case, and that the *lowest* percentages displayed here indicates the winner. Please explain the process and confirm the winners of this election. It's VERY unclear based on a reasonable reading of the staff email. Thanks! - Evan At-Large Staff wrote:
