Something is off about the 1st choice vote numbers

[edit]

The results table lists both Democratic Socialists of America and Green Party of Minnesota as having received 3,061 1st Choice Votes. However, despite apparently receiving the exact same number of votes, DSA is listed as having 2.26% of 1st Choice Votes while GPMN is listed as having 2.28%. If the total is accurate (which I am skeptical of), 3,061 should be 2.28%. In the pie chart, however, DSA is listed as having only 2.06% of 1st Choice Votes. Going through each ward and counting up results for each candidate manually, GPMN got 3,065 votes and DSA got 2,763 votes (assuming you just count Robin and not DSA endorsed candidates who listed the DFL on their ballot. If you add votes for DSA-endorsed DFL candidates the result is way higher than 3,061). So I am not sure where the 3,061 number comes from, and it seems like all these numbers should probably be checked again. 2601:449:4200:7800:25D5:320F:58C6:7736 (talk) 23:54, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
