I see it, give me a minute to edit the comment up
Basically the problem is the divisions are too clean.
If 10,058,774 votes were divided naturally, you would expect something like candidate A gets 51.19817%, but he got 51.20000%. This would happen if someone said "Make 51.2% of the votes be for Maduro"
10058774 × 0.512 = 5150092.28, or to the nearest whole number 5,150,092
10058774 × 0.442 = 4445978.10 or to the nearest whole number 4,445,978
10058774 × 0.046 = 462703.604, or to the nearest whole number 462,704
