Der of votes cast for the slate re-
|ceiving the majority; multiply this
number by the number of delegates
the nucleus is entitled to and divide
this result by the total number of
votes cast for both states; adjust the
result you thus get to the nearest
Third. This establishes the number
of delegates and voting power for
the majority TIL, minority takes
the remainder of the voting power
and delegates of the nucleus.

the nucleus is entitled. ........ 3
Total votes cast in the elections IA

cast for both sides which is IA. This
gives a result of l 14-24 which, when
adjusted to the nearest Third amounts
Ito l 2-3 votes and delegates for the
majority. The minority takes the
balance of the three delegates and
votes which in this case amounts to
