Impossible to read these numbers.
Non Wonk, please?

The problem is the precentages ran into the total number of votes cast - I can't get it to widen right now because it takes up too much space on the page. You want to just look at the percentages - cause that tells you what percentage of the reported vote that measure or person got -- on the far right column.

Thanks, Kelly.
So for instance in the Mill Valley School Board race, Waldeck and Jacobs are at 29.44% and 29.32% respectively?

No, not yep. There's 2 votes per ballot and the percentage is based on total number of votes cast. To get a truer picture of support for a candidate you need to take the votes received by the individual candidates and divide it by the "times counted." That will give you a better picture of how many voters are selecting that candidate. This is the percentage we're used to seeing in a regular, "vote for one" up/down race, like a presidential election.

Yes, what Edwin says is true, because voters can vote for multiple candidates, the percentages as reported by the registrar are not mathematically what you would consider a percentage, but that is how they are frequently reported and recorded by the registrar (since these results are directly imported from the registrar) and will tell you who is winning - which I think was what was being asked.
