But why would you sum up Coraline and Tobie? The most likely explanation is
that the same set of people (11%) voted for both of them, if they wanted to
support ethical source. If we're going to sum up votes from the same
voter, then by the same logic there's 124% support for the platform that
Josh and Megan represent.

Gil's analysis seems to more accurately reflect how approval voting works.
