The property test "We are elected as leader proportional to our stake" fails fairly infrequently, but often enough to be a disturbance. There does not seem to be a problem with the test, just that the variance with 500 trials is too high. I've increased the number of trials to 2,000. It still runs quite fast (under a second).

The property test "We are elected as leader proportional to our stake" fails fairly infrequently, but often enough to be a annoying. I cannot find a problem with the test, I think that the variance with 500 trials is just too high. I've increased the number of trials to 2,000. It still runs quite fast (under a second).
I can get this test to fail consistently by setting
withMaxSuccessto 500 when the number of trials is 500. With 2,000 trials, it succeeds often withwithMaxSuccessset to 10,000.If anyone else wants to check the math, that would be great too.
