The trailing candidate needs ${pct(\n need\n)} of the remaining vote to win.

${need * remaining} votes

\n\n

The leading candidate needs only ${pct(\n 1 - need\n)} of the remaining vote to win.

${margin} + ${(1 - need) *\n remaining} = ${margin + (1 - need) * remaining} votes

Unfortunately my first couple versions were totally stupidly wrong. Like, _silly_ wrong. So there’s the hazard of computational discourse. But then again, someone was immediately able to correct me, because they can inspect and try out the code, so — computational discourse wins again!`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs"}],"files":"$W32","stdlib":"1","titling":"auto"}
