Is the math on that sheet even correct? E.g., rounding 3.47826 to 4, when the directions seem to indicate that it should round to 3?
Edit: So, if you believe a Medium post with lots of animated GIFs[1], in the case that the total is short, the extra delegate is awarded to the closest to round up. So, given that additional rule, the math checks out, but it's oddly not stated on the worksheet.
The multiplication at the top, likewise, is incorrect. Again, wrong inputs (the total present seems to be 69, not 70); the answer is right given corrected inputs.
The votes? at the bottom also appear to have had someone vote twice. Not clear which candidate got the extra, but I don't think it matters.

Edit edit: Ah, here's a better source, maybe? Four years out of date, and the filename looks to be a letter short: https://www.iowaaflcio.org/system/files/cauus_handbook_dems.pdf https://www.iowaaflcio.org/system/files/cauus_handbook_dems....

- deathanatos 7y agoNow that I've got a better source, while it looks like there are some cases for a coin-toss, I don't think that's the case here. (Though I did hear that one happened, so perhaps it's in a different location?)
