Without any fancy tooling to handle Ranked Choice Voting, it is clear
that the votes would go to Andrew J, Jason, William, and Patrick.  They
will continue in their TOF position.

Results can be verified with:
    $ cat 2024H1/votes/*.json | grep '"' | sed 's/,//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

One thing I noticed as the votes were coming in was that it wasn't clear
if people understood that the order of your votes mattered, as TOF
elections are suppose to be Ranked Choice[1].  I will make sure this is
more clearly communicated next time we have an election.  (I saw many
votes in simply alphabetical order.)

I am interested in hearing any other feedback on how voting went.  Are
there improvements we should make to the process?
