Possible lazy ass coders.
If they are doing maths on these numbers, your Calc Object would have to convert it to double first to avoid possible exception error crash.
Or the database the raw number goes into is double, same story though.
Good code and data tables keep data entered as what it is. It's a cheap and effective check on entered data.
Exception:
Count = int(input)
If exception = fatal.exception.not.int
Then:
Some way to get voter to clarify.
I wouldn't store as double. Wouldn't data table as double
Seems someone doesn't care if votes entered are unsigned int.****
