Or to just display the number of upvotes and downvotes.

(hovering your mouse over the karma scores shows that)

It only shows percentages, not the number of upvotes and downvotes. For example, if you have 100% upvotes, you may not know whether it was one upvote or 20.

If a comment has 100% upvotes, then obviously the amount of upvotes it got is exactly equal to the karma score of the post in question.

Good point. Math is clearly not my strong suit.

Yeah, the only ambiguous case is when the percentage is 50%.

ya sorry, i misread things. showing the numbers of upvotes and downvotes would indeed solve the precision problem.
