Note to readers:This article has been changed to correct a math error. The percentage change between Corzo and Stone is nearly 2%.
Looks like they corrected it! I'm no math whiz, but it seems to me if the vote count changes, the percentage HAS to change. Regardless, I'm loving the numbers!! Trending up.
The original article said Corzo's percentage lead hadn't changed since Monday. That's why I made my comment and I assume that's why they made the correction.

Actually, the percentage difference has been changing in Corzo's favor. It was 0.8% last Friday, 1.3% Monday, and is now 2.0%,

Unless, of course, both sides get the same number of yes votes.
