So someone brought up polls on VGC not adding up correctly. And, having a look around, this appears to be true:

Round 1: Most Anticipated Xbox One Game Post-E3
Below	31	57.41%
Battleborn	7	12.96%
See Results	10	18.52%
Total:	48

88.89%, not 100%

What Game To Play?
Mario Kart 8	367	69.64%
Mario Kart 7	1	0.19%
Pokemon X/Y	20	3.80%
Other	12	2.28%
See Results	11	2.09%
Total:	411

78%, not 100%

Should we have the option to delete polls?
Yes.	1,361	64.69%
Yes.	528	25.10%
Total:	1,889

89.79%, not 100%

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense; there isn't a common total, and it's happening to polls of all sizes. Just something I noticed.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

The numbers to percents are also incorrect, 528 is not 25.10% of 1889, it's more on the lines of 27% and 31 is not 57.41% of 48, the plot thickens.

Indeed. But there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of pattern. It all seems entirely random.

Sadly, that seems to be the case with VGChartz!
