The total points are irrelevant. The logos were ranked by the average score, it doesn't matter at all how many people voted on each logo because the score is the sum divided by the number of voters *for that variant*.
In that case, why isn't the number of votes for each logo identical - a requirement for average voting to work.
No. Read the above again. There are no zero votes -- not voting does not influence the average for that submission.
The calculation actually works in the opposite direction to tht expected, but your assertion is false. 549/180 != 548/179 Not voting for an entry increases its average.
Actually, I just found my vote amone the invalids. Wikipedia was down immediately after I voted so I wasn't able to check. For some reason ~~~~ didn't get decoded.
