Thanks @RodLight, I do love that tip. Count records returns a row with a value of 0 whilst a summarise would return no records or rows. It's such a useful technique!

Fun Challenge! While an iterative macro would ideally be the best solution, I ultimately decided to use a more basic test/repeat model with some fail safes built in to output the winner and stop data streaming when found.

I get the correct result but if anyone can see why my iterative macro does not exit on the condition %vote > 50 I would love to know why.

Nice challenge. Simple workflow created without any macros. Will try with macros as well once later on.

For fun, I solved it dynamically without any macros. I used @jdunkerley79 's Alteryx Abacus formula add ins. They are super powerful when combined with Generate Rows tools.
