The error in this analysis occurs due to the use of an Excel or LibreOffice spreadsheet that when the cell size is reduced it rounds to 51.2% and when it is increased it gives 51.199997136828

You need an integer number of votes, so you would expect it cannot be equal to an exact fraction. But being within a single vote bound is incredibly suspicious.
51.199997136828 is what you get when you do =ROUND(N_votes * 0.512)/N_votes. So it may as well be 51.2%.
