Election Summary (the source of the numbers presented here).
In the bar graphs presented here, the quota of 1878 is represented
by a green line. Bar Graphs after

This is quite different from recent years, even those
elections with open seats. There is no marked boundary between those
likely to be elected and those without a reasonable chance.
First-time Cambridge City Council candidates Decker and Braude have
made very strong showings.
After the #1 ballots have been
counted, Triantafillou has ninth place with 1176 and Maher is in tenth
with 1040. It is likely that the ninth spot is the one to watch (much
hindsight, here), and so graphs showing all counts from the Fifth on
will be presented. 
Triantafillou 1199:
Maher 1177
Galluccio's surplus of 838 has gone to Born (37),
Decker (20), Toomey (61), Sullivan (180),
Davis (36), Reeves (53), Triantafillou (23),
Maher (137), Goodwin (105) and Trumbull (50), with the
balance going to the other candidates. The difference between the
total for Triantafillou and Maher has been reduced to 22, and many of
Galluccio's transfers have gone to candidates who are not likely to
transfer many to Triantafillou as they are declared defeated.
Triantafillou 1220: Maher 1200
After distribution of the ballots from several of the less successful
candidates, not much has changed. Triantafillou is still 20 votes
ahead of Maher. Other incumbent candidates, as well as Decker and
Braude, seem fairly safe.

Maher 1275: Triantafillou 1253:

Maher 1311: Triantafillou 1268:
Of the 376 transfers from Peixoto, 36 go to Maher and 15 to
Triantafillou.
From here on, finer-spaced grid lines will be used.

Maher 1321: Triantafillou 1304:
Of Hoicka's 386 transfers, 36 go to Triantafillou and 10 to
Maher. Hoicka's ballots are distributed widely (Born 26,
Decker 40, Toomey 12, Braude 94, Sullivan 11,
Reeves 29, Goodwin 5, Trumbull 7, Snowberg 51,
41 exhausted), so Triantafillou does not pick up enough to catch
Maher.

Triantafillou 1344: Maher 1333
Transfers from Snowberg put Triantafillou slightly ahead of Maher. As
with Hoicka, Snowberg's transfers are widely distributed
(Born 54, Decker 55, Braude 93, Toomey 17,
Davis 52, Sullivan 16, Reeves 49, Goodwin 8,
Trumbull 38, 102 exhausted). The large number of transfers
to candidates almost assured of election does not improve
Triantafillou's situation, despite the slight lead over Maher.
Due to the closeness after this count, a second graph with an expanded scale is included.

The same, on a slightly expanded scale
(which leaves off two
continuing candidates).
Maher 1574: Triantafillou 1358:
Transfers from Trumbull go heavily to Maher (241) and
Sullivan (101); Triantafillou receives 14. After this
count, Decker is one short of election, and Sullivan has moved ahead
of Davis (both are virtually reassured of relection).
Bar Graphs after
Count #: 1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13
As expected, transfers from Goodwin go overwhelmingly to Toomey and
Sullivan (who are elected with 109 and 130 transfers, respectively),
and to Maher, who moves ahead of Davis and Reeves. Decker receives
the single transfer necessary for election. Braude is still 7 votes
short of quota.
After this round, Triantafillou is declared to be defeated, and the
continuing candidates (Braude, Maher, Davis, Reeves) delcared elected,
each elected candidate reaching quota.
