Why does the poll add up to 178.76% - shouldn't it be out of 100%, or are we using Washington D.C. math?

(that's been bugging me for a bit now...)

That shouldn't make any difference when totaling percentages...

You could normalize it by dividing everything by 178% but then the numbers would represent the percentage of the total votes, instead of the total voters.

As it stands, it's accurate when it states that 21.24% of the voters checked Amare, 28.32% checked Bosh, etc.

But it's inaccurate when telling you what percentage of votes each player got.

The poll is deducing its numbers backwards and I won't stand for it!

KILL THE POLL!!!
