Unanimous!

I was playing around with the election program, and discovered yet another error in the now-dead Wozniak Grand Intervention Plan. The vote count for the External Vice President Race was reported as:

Jason Chu: 3717
Igor Tregub: 3498

This is incorrect. Quota for this race was 4062. Which means that after redistribution of all other votes, neither candidate has won. In order to complete the election, Igor's votes must be redistributed, giving results:

Jason Chu: 4062

And no one else. This is just to point out how meaningless the numbers you see are, as here, with the closest election, the numbers suggest that Jason ran unopposed.

That is a facet of how I wrote the program. If you pay attention and slow down the count you'll see that the winner gets a ton of votes over quota but they are kicked down when (s)he wins. I forget if I actually show this in the code but I believe it's saved in the log.

It hasn't been reported anywhere that I know of. The answer is:

Jason: 3244
Igor: 2698
Ali: 1097
John: 824
Andy: 260
