Comments
In this case, candidates 19 and 20 are both tied for equal lowest votes.

Our algorithm eliminates them both at the same time, so neither get a seat. In the end, only 3 candidates get enough votes to meet the quota (out of 4 seats).

OpenSTV eliminates one of candidate 19 or 20 at random. Their votes get reallocated to the other candidate, who goes on to get enough votes to meet the quota and get a seat. So, either candidate 19 or candidate 20 gets a seat, depending on who is eliminated first.

Election setup

 * Candidates: 20
 * Seats: 4
 * Votes: 5120
