President Elector

Description: The current implementation of the RankedChoice contract does not explicitly handle tie situations where two or more candidates receive the same number of votes in a round. This can lead to unexpected behavior or failure to resolve the election process.

Impact:

• Indeterminate Election Outcome: If a tie occurs, the contract may not be able to determine a clear winner, potentially stalling the election process.

• Unexpected Behavior: The contract might revert or behave unpredictably if it encounters a tie, leading to a lack of resolution in the election.

Proof of Concept: If two candidates receive the same number of votes in a round, the current logic does not specify how to proceed, which can result in an unresolved state:

Recommended Mitigation:

• *Implement Tie-Breaking Logic: *Introduce a mechanism to handle ties, such as a runoff election, random selection, or predefined rules to break ties.

• Define Clear Rules for Ties: Clearly define and document the rules for handling ties to ensure predictable and transparent outcomes.
