The
is_defunct_voter
function is intended to check whether all of a given voter's selections are invalid. A selection is valid if it is a candidate in the next round, i.e. if it is a current member or runner-up (and thus automatically added as candidates), or on the candidates list.However, the function as implemented did not check for runners-up. This PR adds this check to fix the bug, which would have permitted incorrect reports of defunct voters if they only voted for current runners-up. This PR also expands the
can_detect_defunct_voter
test case to catch the bug.
