Debatable. Unmarked votes can also be counted as "equally last", so
that "--1--" count is the same as "22122". The constitution is unclear
on this (as well as many other things), which is why AJ, Buddha Buck,
Raul, and a couple of people from the election-methods list have been
working on a proposal to clarify and improve Debian's voting procedure
and rules.
