Later today, about this question. The election was done under ranked choice conditions which, to me means that this pattern of election decision goes to the second ranked candidate, they have already been voted for so it would make sense that this would be the process.

Like I said, I'll be looking into it but I would think that is how it would work since there was a ranked selection process already conducted.

platner making ultimatum to leave is stupid because he has no say in how this process is conducted nor should he defines conditions for himself.

Anyway, when I find out, I'll share that with you.
