Quick follow up to
this. The number of decimal places displayed for each candidate is three,
not two. The number of decimal places in the total for the
candidates is two.
The observant will
note that the percentages shown in JResultClient work this way as well.
The percents are shown with two decimal places, while the total is
100.0.
The reason it works
like this is for esoteric statistical reasons. 12.23 might actually be
12.234, and 12.24 might be 12.237. When you sum a list of floating point
numbers, the sum has one less decimal place of significance than the
elements. Or just trust me -- I didn't like stats in school any more than
you did.
The number of
decimal places should all be configurable, but weighted races are really just a
one-shot thing for Sacramento right now. When we get more weighted
customers, this will be enhanced.
