 Leader selection is decided via a random seed.  The process is as follows:
 
-1. Periodically at a specific `PoH count` select the `2/3+1` validation vote signatures
+1. Periodically at a specific `PoH count` select the first vote signatures that create a supermajority from the previous round.
 2. append them together
 3. hash the string for `N` counts via a similar process as PoH itself.
 4. The resulting hash is the random seed for `M` counts, where M > N
 
 ## Leader Ranking and Rotation
 
-Leader's transmit for a count of `T`.  When `T` is reached all the validators should switch to the next ranked leader.  To rank leaders, the top `2/3rds + M` nodes are shuffled with the using the above calculated random seed.
