I´d like to know what would happen if there are 9 seats instead of 8 in the example, because there´s a tie with 20000 <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/80.25.238.87|80.25.238.87]] ([[User talk:80.25.238.87|talk]]) 12:06, 30 March 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
I wondered that, too, so I came over to Talk. I don't see anything in a quick Google search to suggest whether the 9th or 10th seats would go to Parties A, B, or D. I guessconclude that an extension would have to be written in to the law, stating what would happen in the event of a tie. For example, perhaps the Largest Remainder Method takes over. In that case, Party A would have -0.09 remainder, Party B would have 0.13, and Party D would have 0.78. This is based on the new "true proportion" column values (9 seats instead of 8) and the number of seats already awarded to each party at this point. So if that rule was used, Party D would be awarded the seat, which seems fair to me. [[User:Myrkron|Myrkron]] ([[User talk:Myrkron|talk]]) 18:57, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
I yet have to see a real case with the tie of kind you have in mind. The problem with the theoretical results in the article is that they are all rounded on 10K, which would be very improbable in real elections. I would in fact suggest that all the results are reworked to be more realistic.[[User:Potjernik|Potjernik]] ([[User talk:Potjernik|talk]]) 10:17, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Here's the table at the point of deciding who to award to next:
