Note: If this doesn't make sense, try reading the How it works page, or view the table form.
The dotted line represents the number of votes that guarantees victory (50% of counted votes).
In the first round, the first choices on each ballot are tallied.
No candidate has the number of votes needed to guarantee victory, so the last-place candidate (Joseph Lieberman) is eliminated. Ballots for that candidate are counted toward their next highest ranking.

As with last month, I got the notice to participate in the poll by email, and I have no idea of whoever else is on that distribution list. But skewed as the population may be, I don't believe the vote is rigged in any manner. But by presenting a graded choice (and in a form of IRV), it avoids the "Either/Or" mindset that seems to be fatal to Dennis.

Incidentally, the resulting Top Three matches my own EXACTLY.
