Nick voted :cat: and his total delegated voting power for that snapshot is ~240291. However, you can see that multiple delegators of his chose :dog: instead, so his total weight on the proposal is now down to ~238848.

Example: physikal.eth is delegated to nick.eth, so he has 0 voting power and is normally unable to vote on Snapshot proposals. But on this proposal he overrode nick.eth with ~941 votes.

The current report also highlights a couple of other interesting cases.

For instance, tarnover.eth is delegated to imtoken.eth. And even though imtoken.eth has not voted on the proposal, tarnover.eth is still able to vote! If imtoken.eth were to vote later on the proposal, then at that point the ~989 votes from tarnover.eth would be deducted from imtoken.eth’s delegated voting power. That is also why the deltas in the report don’t add up to zero, they actually add up to ~989! In this case, tarnover.eth’s vote is not overriding :cat:, it’s overriding the choice of “not voting at all”.

Also, coltron.eth voted :dog: but another account overrode him and voted :cat:. If you add up all the other :dog: overrides besides tarnover.eth, it comes to ~1863. But the total delta on :cat: is only -1838, and that’s because that other account overrode coltron.eth and voted for :cat: with 25 votes. And again, even though coltron.eth’s total delegated voting power is 339, you can see that on the Snapshot proposal he only has 314 votes because of the override.

There are lots of other interesting cases that can occur too. Like even if you don’t own any $ENS and have never delegated your account, you can still vote if someone else delegates to you (and that is true of the regular erc20-votes strategy too). You can also delegate your own tokens to someone else, and another person can delegate their tokens to you, creating a sort of daisy-chain of delegations. When you vote with this strategy, you always have access to your own local token balance (as long as you have them delegated). Then you’ll also have any additional delegated voting power, minus the balances of any delegators that have also voted.

Hope that all makes sense, let me know if you have any questions!
