Just to be clear in case there's confusion, such claims must have come from someone else, and definitely _not_ me. Lacking access to the Helios results page (which is what I infer you mean by 'election results page'), I looked at reported statistics on OSI's Drupal site (https://opensource.org/node/1049), which stats I assume accurate. Helios seems like a very meritorious intermediary for collecting and attesting to votes. I am guessing that 'block vote' (aka multiple non-transferable vote) voting algorithm then gets applied to the Helios-curated data by OSI's esteemed staff. (A very quick look at Helios[1], plus skimming the related Wikipedia page[2], suggests they merely tabulate and certify, which I am not denigrating in any way and is valuable indeed, but then application of a Helios-user-applied voting algorithm would then be a separate step.)
