utterance to the following:
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. The winner received more votes
than many other logos, meaning that others received a number of "zero"
votes, effectively pulling down their averages. I voted "1" for the winner
because I understood that to be the lowest vote allowed.
