Don Biz had a question out of What GEMS does when you choose to show under votes but not blank
or over is assign those votes to the under vote statistic. This was by popular
demand. Seeing it in action, it’s
more than a little counterintuitive to see over votes reported as under votes. The concept is sound, but the nomenclature
makes it tough to figure out what is going on. The blank vote case is pretty
self-evident, since those are under votes of a sort. I think we can improve this a little by changing the name of
the statistic for the case that under votes are shown but over votes are
not. The best name I can come up
with is “uncast votes”. It would be fun to call them ‘missing
votes”, but I think I can predict the reaction to that one. If anyone has a better name than uncast (which is not a word), I am all for it. Ken |
