Still the voting percantage is 104%
Add it up and then tell me there isn't voter fraud.

I agree. If you do the math the numbers are over 100% no matter how you add it up according to the results chart. Thats without factoring in the withdraws as well. What the hell happened that is causing the numbers to be off. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think so. Please clarify because these numbers look suspicious.
You had one from me
Well that means a lot to me DaMulta...seriously...
Mooby the percentages may not add up because 4 people dropped out for personal reasons. As has been stated...all of the nominees are needed to aid this endeavor. Let's support our new board, they are good people.
Congrats again...can't wait to see what happens next!

If I had known SSRob was you I would've voted for ya, so make that post count 88 =)
I didn't realize it was over 100%. Obviously, it rounded the numbers, as percentages can go above and below 1.0.
30.8%
15.9%
28.8%
20%
3.9
.6
= 100%
Rounded
31%
16%
29%
20%
4%
1%
=
101%

Seriously, if someone was smart enough to mess with the numbers, don't you think they'd be smart enough to make the results spread more evenly, so it didn't get questioned?
Jeez...of course the numbers are rounded why would anyone allege fraud in a simple spreadsheet program? It's the number of individual votes that were counted...disregard the percentage.
Right but as popular as some of those people such as sun. You would have probably dropped a good 5-10% under 100%. That means that votes got rounded 9% up. Your average election has a margin of error of 2 or 3%, you have reached 9%, congratulations.
NP, I only voted for people I thought would be good with dealing with people. You just happened to be one of those people on the list. Out of three only one I voted for ended up on the board.
Sorry, but the numbers are still skewed.
Just my opinion. But good luck to those elected.

Percentages don't jump around that much... 6th grade math students could tell you this....
The figures add up to 102%...well within a standard margin of error, which I'm sure is due to rounding.
Good grief are we all really that math challenged? It wasn't a one person, one vote deal. Then you would have seen it all add up neatly to 100%.
What we had: Everyone could lodge up to 12 votes. Some used all 12 votes, some didn't. Of course a big portion of the percentage was lost because of the 5 who received an undetermined number of votes each, but which votes were then not counted in the final tally. Had that not happened, we would have seen the percentage figures adding up to well over 100.

It is called "rounding".
As far as fraud goes, I'm now suspicious of the pre-restart numbers. Given the final results I'd guess the numbers first time around were tainted by some multiple votes.
And, if there were fraud involved, do you really think it would come out different in a second round? Coming out differently strongly suggests that there is nothing rigged, not the other way around!
If you do all of the math without rounding, it comes to 100%.
Divide the number of votes the person got by the total number of votes cast. You will get an exact percentage. If you add all the exact percentages together, it equals 100%. I recommend using the memory function on your calculator, as it makes it much easier to do the final sum.
