    Headline is a bit disingenuous as it is the most points (because the total points is higher) but only the second highest percentage (1987 still 1st).

      Thank you for posting this, that was my first assumption reading the headline. Anytime I see numbers without a percentage in a headline, or vis versa, I’m immediately suspicious.

      After all, there are 3 types of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
