  I mean this whole thing makes zero sense in the first place.

  Why are you moving on from the first round when you don't have all the absentee votes (~120k outstanding votes) counted yet?

  I get that it's their first time running RCV and all, but this is basically a non-issue when SF runs elections.

  One good thing is that this is just a primary election, so I think any of these hiccups will be smoothed over by the party. But if this was a two party election, I think this could look really bad.

  Don't test in prod. Really!
