Not so fast on Biggio

[HornSolo]

Not so fast my Astro friends,

The Hall's website, in their election story, says that there were 571 ballots sent out. Craig Biggio got 427 votes, which results in being two votes shy of the 75% needed for election into the Hall of Fame. However, in the table to the right of the linked story, there were 569 ballots cast. According to the BBWAA-branded system it can be determined that 427 divided by 569 is 75.04%...which would mean Biggio is in.

could get interesting.

Is this something that's being reported as an issue?

Who didn't vote? Track down their 2 votes. The only way I see that it changes is if those 2 people are dead.
