Be careful that it means 810 votes in total, (174 votes for Mercurial).
More importantly, nothing ensures that the results are representative.
Also many people (must) use different tools for different projects. (As
I do, for example.)

IMHO, it is just a waste of time voting or discussing the results.
(Though, order to please you, I had my voice and voted to mercurial).
