@RegDwight Then how come Hal got Electorate badge by total 640 votes?

@RegDwight, it means that I will have to vote 600 questions and 1800 answers?

@RegDwight, hmm, good. than what is 25% here?

@RegDwight okay. It means that the person I mention in my first comment Hal might have voted 600 times on questions and only 40 times on answers, right?

@RegDwight than it means, 600/610 = 98.36%. I have voted 610 times. and acc to your calculation it becomes 98.36%, than why did I still not get that badge?

@DrDro I don't think you are giving the correct definition. because according to your definition, I must have at least 2400 votes so that 25% of them become 600 which should be cast on questions. see this profile stackoverflow.com/users/366495/hal. he has only voted 640 times and he got the Electorate badge.

oh yeah may be, because that was the only day I hit the reputation cap. :) thanks anyway.

hey, stop marking it duplicate. this is the case of more 300 points not only about 45 points. I want a focused answer about why my reputation was decreased?
