My calculation gives possibilities of anything from +11-10 (52.38%) to +17-16 (51.52%), assuming the displayed % is rounded to the nearest whole. It now stands at 4 and 56%, implying +18-14, +19-15, or +20-16.
More exactly, it’s been a long time since I’ve done much algebra, and it was a fight to get any sense out of problem. I had a feeling there was something I didn’t understand, but I had no idea the weak spot was that the rounding off range didn’t include the exact percentage.
Finding out how much a single vote changes the percentage of up or down votes gives a lot of information, and this can be learned by giving a vote and withdrawing it quickly.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure I had the math right.
