Percent Votes incorrect

from GalCiv3 Forums

So I just had an united Planets Vote.

Drengin Empire 12% votes.    12% total Yes   vs..    0% total No      12% counted

Krynn Syndicate 23% votes.   35% total Yes   vs..    0% total No      35% counted

Iridium Corporation 9% votes. 35% total Yes   vs.     9% total No      44% counted

Yor Singularity     2% votes    37% total Yes   vs.     9% total No      46% counted

Terran Alliance    12% votes   49% total Yes   vs.     9% total No      58% counted

Leaving me which doesn't show my percent vote, however, based on that 58% have voted I should have 42% of the vote.  This would put the Yes vote to 51% winning versus 49% correct?  No, I lost the Final vote went to No.  So how are these figures rounded?

Another problem is that they don't show the player's votes at all on this screen, neither the number of votes the player has or how the player's votes were tallied.

another problem could be simple rounding

lets assume that each of the no voting races actually had X.4 votes which rounded down to X on the display

12.4

23.4

2.4

12.4

=50.6 votes for no which would leave 49.4 votes yes

I've thought of that possibility, however this may be simply fixed by letting a player see what percent they have.  Or by displaying percents to the tenth of a percent.  I've seen similar issues in a multiplayer game too which has maximum of 4 players (AI or Human) right now so there could be a maximum 1.2% varriant.
