Editing Droop quota (section)

=== Derivation ===
The Droop quota can be derived by considering what would happen if {{Math|''k''}} candidates (here called "Droop winners") have exceeded the Droop quota. The goal is to identify whether an outside candidate could defeat any of these candidates. In this situation, if each quota winner's share of the vote equals {{Math|{{frac|1|''k''+1}}}}, while all unelected candidates' share of the vote, taken together, is at most {{Math|{{frac|1|''k''+1}}}} votes. Thus, even if there were only one unelected candidate who held all the remaining votes, they would not be able to defeat any of the Droop winners.<ref name="droop-1881" />
