Each elector votes for 10 players, ranking each player from 1-10. The player ranked first on a ballot is assigned 14 points, the player ranked second is assigned 9 points, on down to the player ranked 10th, who receives one point. Obviously, Morneau didn't have to be atop everybody's list, but his totals could have outdone everbody else's.

How many points did he win by?
