  out of curiosity and some scripting, I produced the table below,
which comes with no warranty of being correct. If anyone wants to see
the script that produced it, I can put it on my homepage or post it. I
wouldn't be surprised if it had a few bugs and errors.

======================================================================
  Data produced by the command : 

  ./by_affiliation.pl candidate-affiliation.txt results.txt.final

Each row in the table below shows one possible voter's
affiliation. 

* The first column contains the number of voters with this
  affiliation.

* The second column contains the number of votes cast by these voters
  (at most eleven votes per voter).

* Subsequent columns contain the number of votes for each of the
  possible affiliatons. For example, the cell corresponding to row
  'none', column 'Helx' contains the number of votes cast by
  non-affiliated voters for candidates affiliated with 'Helix Code'.
  whom they voted

Affiliation of candidates is determined from the list of candidates in

Affiliation of voters is determined by mail address and may be
wrong. So the figures in this table may be inacurate.
