While I was running the numbers, trying to build a model for a separate project, I noticed that the approval vote results have never been accurately reported in Fargo. The winners are right, but the percentages are not. They've never crossed 50% approval despite being widely reported that way.</div><br>I posted an explanation of this on our website: <a href="https://www.ih21.org/aktuality/approval-voting-in-fargo" target="_blank">https://www.ih21.org/aktuality/approval-voting-in-fargo</a> When I realized that another election is coming up and that, as far as I can tell, nobody else has made the methodology publicly known yet, I wanted to get this out there. I also thought you guys might find it interesting. <div><br></div><div>EM</div></div>
