TAFF 1995 RESULTS
DAN STEFFAN TO INTERSECTION[This was a fax sent by Jeanne Bowman to David Langford. The candidates, listed only in abbreviated form, were Samanda b Jeudé, Dan Steffan and Joe Wesson, plus the usual options No Preference (N.P.) and Hold Over Funds (H.F.). The procedure is a bit wonky – Hold Over Funds with no initial first-place votes should have been eliminated at once, and there’s no need to continue once a simple majority has been established – but the totals at that stage are correct. It is not clear whether this was actually published as a TAFF newsletter or just summarized in newszines etc. Found and added to the TAFF site in August 2026. – DRL]
First Place Ballot Count Joe Sam Dan N.P. H.F. North America 46 124 100 7 0 Europe 9 18 51 1 0 The Rest of the World 4 2 3 0 0 First Round Total 59 144 154 8 0 Joe has not got the minimum 20% in Europe, so his second place ballot choices are redistributed. I have distributed the first place No Preference votes here as well – one vote goes to Hold Over Funds and the rest drop out. International votes are incorporated with the rest at this juncture.
