>Velichie (Grandeur) party, who had 4.01% voter support based on 99.71% of protocols processed, have dropped out of the Parliament, finishing with 3.999%.
A mathematician's thoughts on it:
>"I have never seen anything like this - 3.999%." The logic is that the number is rounded after the second sign and under this hypothesis, the nine gets two zeros in front and the three becomes a four. That is, the result of "Velichie" should be 4% and they should enter the Parliament. We have yet to find out if and how the CEC(Central Election Commission
) understands mathematics," said Prof. Vitanov.
Thoughts?

Ah but you forget that the 4 rounds down to 0.
But in all seriousness why would you do any rounding. If the law says that it has to be 4% then you need 4% to get in, not 3.959

This. Also, 44.5% is unanimous.

Rounding is not allowed.
4% or more means exactly that, if there are 100,000 votes in total they need at least 4% of them, i.e. 4,000 or more. 3,999 is not enough.

According to my college
100 = 4.0 and 93 = 4.0 but 92= 3.9
