Shorty Awards Audit Part 2: Exception or The Rule?
After discovering previously that @mercola had 64% valid votes (IMHO) where as @DrRachie had 88% valid votes, I wonder if this is an phenomenon is the same in other categories. In other words: is @mercola's valid vote percentage the exception or the rule?
To answer this question, I ran the audit script for 1st and 2nd placers in the \#music category. Here is the breakdown for the current leader, @yelyahwilliams:
- deleted accounts: 449 (13.98%)
- accounts with 1 tweet: 21 (0.65%)
- accounts with 2 tweets: 32 (1.00%)
- other accounts: 2706 (84.27%)
- total: 3211
- deleted accounts: 431 (9.07%)
- accounts with 1 tweet: 30 (0.63%)
- accounts with 2 tweet: 92 (1.94%)
- other accounts: 4190 (88.21%)
- total: 4750
There is a discrepancy of 3, from users BenFreemann, ovan10, and YannickBraun.
Now for @ivetesangalo:
There is a discrepancy of 7 from andreiaAMO, Brubruna, buguinhaBrito, Erica_nasciment, julianestephany, KEKELZITA, and pedro_PERWAH.
It would seem that **@mercola's 64% is an exception not the rule**. Granted, I only sampled 4 leaders. I suspect however that when I run the statistics for the leaders in \#celebrity, I would see the same results: that **the rule is for percentage of valid votes are 80% or higher.**
**\**
I will update when the \#celebrity audit is done. Note that I am auditing those categories where the leaders have vote counts in the thousands. This should reduce anomalies.
Cheers,
