content: Actually this is less sophisticated as the fractions are introduced by the manipulation and not just removed.  Effectively, it's obvious something is fucked up as soon as anyone attempts to aduit it.  Office space, if you don't fuck up the decimal points, would take years to discover as the result is basically accurate (anyone aduiting might just assume they made a mistake considering how close the numbers are).  But if I made a vote counter and asked the question "What about fractional votes?", what am I doing each vote is always 1.  Do I think blacks have 3/5th of a vote? Just the type defining would be enough to show negligence if not maleficence. In fact mechanically the vote counting functionality is so simple that students could perfect it as a classroom assignment. And it could be mathemarically proven as accurate, fair and bugfree in an open source project.
