This was 12.6% of all BTLs in Northern Metro, but she wasn't the highest BTL-getter in Northern Metro (Samantha Ratnam (Green) had more than twice as many.) Patten's BTLs were 48.7% of the Reason vote. At this Senate election we have seen some candidates such as Garland and Pesec get more than half their group's vote in BTLs, but that was partly because of voter confusion about non-party boxes.

I know the actual number of votes would obviously be less since it’s just an eighth of the state, but her share of both the actual below-the-line votes, and her ratio of below-the-line to above-the-line votes had to be near records, particularly considering that Victoria still has GVTs above the line.Christopher Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352344079470009077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052593945054595675.post-69526519010487703962019-06-12T10:29:23.092+10:002019-06-12T10:29:23.092+10:00Personally, although I do not like Molan, this cas...Personally, although I do not like Molan, this case only strengthens by belief that a full implementation of Hare-Clark with Robson Rotation would strengthen democracy in the Senate and contrary to what some others think, would be workable even in larger states.SuperEgzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983461951673991608noreply@blogger.com
