don’t know what to tell you. :) I am pulling these off Secretary of State’s office. The new, Common Core math I guess.

LOL.

“The new, Common Core math I guess.”


If the D was at 50.7% and the R at 47.6% and the L at 1.7%, then that adds up to 100.0%, but if you had rounded up each total to the nearest percentage you get 51% + 48% + 2%, which would give you 101%. So it was an issue of rounding in the Secretary of State’s presentation, not of funky “math.”

But I liked the final numbers a lot better (53% R, 46% D).
