Poll percentage error

I noticed something a little odd
Shouldn’t the percentage be 90% for the first option and 10% for the second? And it was like this earlier when it was 19 votes for the first option and 1 for the second— like it’d be 95% to 5%


Unless it’s different for multichoice than it is for single I’m just a little confused


heres a link to the poll because it might appear different for other users Next project - #4 by Watermelon1234

Oops. Just checked and it did indeed have two options.

I thought it’s because the person with the dog pfp voted for both the cool hat dude and hair noodle. Idk how they vote twice but they did

If it’s multi choice then people can select more than one option

Even still the percentages are off

There are 21 people who voted and all voted for the hair noodle but one also voted for the second option
4% of 21 is .84 which if you round up is 1
So the percentage is correct since the every person did vote for the hair noodle
Hope that made sense

True, but then shouldn’t the first option be 99% because 101% makes sense in this case

I think it’s bc the person with the dog pfp that voted for the cool hat dude voted for both somehow
Oh wait- someone already said that •_•

Somebody voted both, that’s how it works when you allow them to vote multiple times. It’s counting how many people voted for a thing, not the total votes.

Looks like just a ribblr glitch.
