Elect simplifies the election method

In election, a certain number of candidates (referred as *seats*) are elected to be proposer according to their RPT value. We have two principles to design the election:

An RNode with higher RPT has higher chance to be elected; Each term of proposers has a certain number of representatives from RNodes with low RPT.

Thus, the main ideas of election process are:

Candidates are divided into two partitions, high-RPT RNodes and low-RPT RNodes; Either partition has a number of available seats; The probability mass for each node being elected is proportional to its RPT in its corresponding partition.

rpts: the reputation list of RNodes seed: a seed to generate a series of random numbers to select RNodes totalSeats: total seats of the election result lowRptCount: the number of low Rpt RNodes among the total RNodes lowRptSeats: the number of seats for low Rpt RNodes in the Proposer Committee
