Incorrect, I am averaging the percentages of the votes, not the number who actually voted.
I thought that was obvious
It's only obvious to people who are not particularly numerate.
An average of two percentages is only meaningful if weighted according to their respective sample sizes. It seemed pretty obvious what had been done, but not obvious what inference could be drawn from this bit of arbitrary arithmetic.
