Election of 41 Popes 1294-1621?

During these years the Catholic Pope was selected by a conclave of important church officials (typically about 40 of them) via an interesting election process from among about 20 candidates. Some details in this paper by Colomer & McLean: http://rangevoting.org/ColomerMpopes.pdf I WANT TO KNOW the election results, e.g. what the vote-scores for the winner and the main-losers were, in some or all of these elections. Can anybody provide such data and/or tell me how to get it? I do not think they were secret ballots. Anyhow some facts about certain of the votes are known and in that article. How'd they know them?

  1. good luck with that....thess were secret balots. I would not doubt the balots were burned on the spot. If they were not, they are in the Vatican archives somewhere where we will never ever see them
