I was thinking percentages. If they didn't know how many votes to steal they didn't want to hard wire a finite steal number. So use a percentage but avoid rounding error by using a floating point.
/end function call/
It's been my experience, if it runs enough cycles, you'll see a rounding error eventually. Even with floating point..

Yes, but nowhere near the number of rounding errors if you used a percentage point for determining how many votes to steal and an integer variable for # of votes.
I read earlier after the vote that the reason we saw 20K changes in votes moving from Trump to Biden was because the percentage to take from Trump was set too low (e.g., take 10% would still leave Trump ahead). So a programming rushed in a correction mid-count to increase the percentage and then you get 10’s of thousands shifting all at once during live broadcast voting results.
