So to correctly interpret the results one has to subtract 1 vote from each?
Except that the author obviously ticks one. Not sure if they are allowed to, or be satisfied with 1 of everything...
One or more (me and I'm sure others too, live in multiple countries). You're allowed to vote in your own polls as far as I know.

#294I'm going to keep it real, it's hard to believe people are from Micronesia, even if it's 1 or 2 per island given you only have 18 people from Ohio.
Come to think of it, none of the options are less than 1 point...

#295France 28 vs Germany 68 vs Italy 11 I guess that says a lot about the tech scene in Italy

As percent of total responses, as of right now: 'US: California', '10.87%' 'Canada', '5.79%' 'United Kingdom', '4.51%' 'US: Washington', '4.45%' 'Germany', '4.45%' 'US: New York', '4.32%' 'US: Colorado', '2.10%' 'US: Texas', '1.97%' 'US: Massachusetts', '1.84%' 'France', '1.78%' The US in total makes up 49% of responses so far (even though it is nearly 10pm in most of Europe) Edit: quick and dirty one-liner to get th…
Be mindful that the dataset is 1-indexed (i.e. zero votes equal a score of 1), so your script is probably a bit skewed towards non-US.

#300Why does America get states and UK doesn't get England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
>> Of course, in 2008, pure investment banks largely failed. Each US state is about the size of a European country, sometimes with similar population. That's one of the things that always comes up in polls of what surprised Europeans about the US when they visited - just how big it is.
If you’re going by geographic area Australia should definitely be split up by state.
