The Electorate badge's description is unclear

Question

I was recently awarded the Electorate badge, so I took a look at its description:

Electorate: Voted on 600 questions and 25% or more of total votes are on questions.

It sounds, at first glance, like the system is awarding 25% of question votes which are votes on questions. What?

This has been discussed a dozen times already, and the text you're seeing is the already-fixed version. If you just read it carefully, it's actually quite clear. (And how does something "sound" at a "glance"?) That said, I did write an extended description in the long badge list, and congrats on the gold. — Pops, Commented May 9, 2012 at 16:10
I'm confused how people get confused by this, but my suggestion is to reformat the sentence as follows: "[Voted on 600 questions] and [25% or more of total votes are on questions]." — Tim Stone, Commented May 9, 2012 at 16:12

Is this more clear?

Electorate: 25-100% of total votes are on 600+ questions.
