I don’t understand the math showing on the WLOX site:
92% OF PRECINCTS REPORTING
Chris McDaniel 139,446 50%
Thad Cochran (Inc.) 136,579 49%
Thomas Carey 4,481 2%
Says 92% of the precincts reporting,,and the percentage breakdown is 50,49 and 2%.. That adds up to 101% ,,,how does that work?
They’re rounding the numbers.
They are rounding to whole numbers. If you look at returns listed in decimal (i.e., 49.7%), those totals will tally to 100%.
I think they are rounding up just to whole numbers it is veryclose!
