Authorities have charged a man for allegedly lighting a ballot box on fire and damaging dozens of ballots in Boston over the weekend, police said Monday. The Boston Election Department said 87 of the 122 ballots inside the dropbox were legible and able to be processed, but the rest were destroyed or unable to be counted.
Worldly Armand, 39, was taken into custody late Sunday after officers matched his appearance with the description of a person wanted for the alleged arson, police said. After a query by the officers, they found Armand was wanted on a warrant out of a local court for receiving stolen property. He will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on a charge of willful and malicious burning.
Police said smoke was coming out of a ballot box near Copley Square early Sunday morning and firefighters extinguished the fire by filling it with water. The Boston Police Department released photos to help find the culprit.

Every time the “round” is run between two candidates, the LAST candidate is dropped, and those votes are applied to the 2nd place candidate (if the close count is between the first and second.
Now there would be five candidates left.
they would then compare the votes of whoever is in 2nd place with the third place candidate. If they weren’t separated by enough votes, then the last place candidate is dropped, and the votes are given to the current third place candidate.
Now there are four candidates left, and I presume the election would end at this point.
I guess.
I think if you look at this conversation we are having, it begs the question: why are they doing this?
Why are they making it so complicated that people have to discuss it in this way? (Of course, they would say “It isn’t complicated...let me explain it to you...”)
