I was looking at the consensus health page, but had not dug into the voting files (sorta overlooked it). Will do that now, though it's downloading like molasses. If I figure it out will report back and will add anything meaningful to the ticket.
Hi,
thanks for looking into these flag voting differences! This is not an explanation of the issues you raise, but just in case you want to dig deeper, here are some starting points:
https://metrics.torproject.org/consensus-health.html#overlap
"flag-thresholds" in votes-20??-??.tar.bz2 tarballs on https://metrics.torproject.org/data.html
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8797
In short, it would be neat to find out exact reasons for authorities voting differently, and having fixes would be really cool!
All the best, Karsten
