Yes, that last sentence should at the very least end with '...of the remaining votes'. It's something I try to be careful about when I'm debating it with ordinary voters, but as I said in my own post, there is a real tension between giving a strictly accurate account of AV, and actually getting across its real benefits in a way that most voters can understand. The No campaign, of course, are ready to jump all over us whenever we lean too far in either direction - but it's pretty clear to me that they are far worse offenders when it comes to misleading over-simplifications.
