Line 6:
# If P hears from no process with a higher process ID than it, it wins the election and broadcasts victory.
# If P hears from a process with a higher ID, P waits a certain amount of time for that process to broadcast itself as the leader. If it does not receive this message in time, it re-broadcasts the election message.
# If P gets an election message (inquiry) from another process with a lower ID it sends an "I am alive" message back and starts new elections.
Note that if P receives a victory message from a process with a lower ID number, it immediately initiates a new election. This is how the algorithm gets its name - a process with a higher ID number will bully a lower ID process out of the coordinator position as soon as it comes online.
