The dotted line represents
the number of votes that guarantees victory (50.1% 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 (Ban soft money) is eliminated. Ballots for that candidate are counted toward their next highest ranking.
