Gotcha, I did not verify.

I thought he was saying given the total votes for each candidate, the likelihood of the percentages all being exactly .10000 precision was evidence it was generated.  But maybe I misunderstood 

 But it's not being rounded, it doesn't need to, the values are exact. That's the point. 

 What? It’s showing votes for candidates. How are those going to be not exact? 

 Why do all the percentages work out to exact single digit percentages? 

 They are rounded up … 

 Do the math, they are not rounded. They all calculate exactly. 

 Not sure what you mean. The math outputs a rounded percentage that matches what you see there. 

 What do you mean “the math outputs a rounded number”?

Do the math without rounding 

 The number of votes was calculated from the percentages, not vice versa.

 Bro, what? You have vote tallies before you do percentages… 

 Ok at this point I think @Karnage is trolling us lol 

 You guys are confused 😵‍💫 

 What are the chances the actual vote would work out to perfect single digit percentages?  

 “You can’t caculate a percent before you have the total count” 

 There’s is a total count 

 100 😂 that’s how percentages work. They come out to exact math you’re calculating from when rounded up… 

 This is a great troll btw 

 I bust me missing a piece of information, an image of some pretext or something because it seems fine to me. 

1. You get your tally
2. You do the percentage math of total tally
3. Excel will output depending on your cell decimal settings.

Not sure what else y’all talking about 

 The tally was generated from these inputs:
1. Total categories (2 candidates + ‘Other’ = 3)
2. Desired percentage breakdown (lazily, all given in 1 decimal precision)
3. Total voters

You’d have to play with 2 or 3, or let an algorithm/program do that for you, to get it to all work out so evenly. 

 I’ll look again when I’m at my desk and plug it all in. 

 Classic case of lazy fake statistics 

 That makes no sense, you can’t even get a percentage without a tally 

 Excel will output additional zeros if you ask it to 

 Given 3 candidates and N voters, what is the probability that the percentage breakdown of the total votes per candidate all work out to exactly that level of precision?

That’s how I interpreted the tweet 

 Looks to be 2 candidates? Isn’t the 3rd “other”? 

 Sure, 3 categories then
