Suppose that three candidates—Woodward, Seiple, and Porter—are running in an election that will be decided by the plurality method with a runoff between the top two finishers if none of the candidates receives a majority of the votes. The results of the first ballot (plurality) are given next. Woodward 2315 Seiple 1885 Porter 800 In a runoff election between Woodward and Seiple, what is the smallest percentage of Porter supporters that would need to vote for Seiple in order for Seiple to win the election?
