Percentages
From 1 to 2 is as much as from 100 to 101.
But people can say the truth while deceiving other by saying the votes increased by 100%(from 1 to 2), whereas for second case they increased by 1%(from 100 to 101).
Another way to use percentages is by using common words like votes doubled(from 1 to 2/ increased by 100%).
