Loomio seems to have problems adding up

Can someone explain to me why, in the example below, the numbers don't add up? It shows that one person out of 533 has voted, but that vote was none of the 4 available options (Yes, No, Abstain, Block). What gives?

I've raise this issue as a bug on Loomio's GitHub page.

The numbers work out on our little trial here. So I presume the problem is a rounding issue with 500+ members. Loomio didn't expect to have such a large group in their beta period. It's not a big deal. It doesn't look like it affects the totals (1/500 is within the rounding error, and it only affects the percentage voted, not the proportional results).

@marcwhinery
The issue is not actually with the percentage or the rounding. As you say, the example here in the proposal in this discussion is working perfectly. The problem evident in the proposal in this discussion, however, is one of simple addition. It currently shows that a total of 8 members have voted. Of those 8 members, there are 2 who have voted Yes, 2 who have abstained, 3 who have voted No, and 0 who have blocked. When I went to school, 2+2+3+0=7 members, not 8 members. It might seem insignificant, but it is still wrong.
You're probably right about it being something to do with the scale, the magnitude of Internet Party members using Loomio. I don't know. I'm also a member of the Diaspora Community on Loomio, which currently has 285 members, and I haven't seen this problem there.

Isn't there a Math rule "Rule of Nines"?

Yep, there it is again in your proposal, @fredlook. This time someone has voted. Only one vote but the "stated their position" lists 2 people have done so.
