It would be foolish to base any reads or anything off of this and I only checked 20 or so games, I'm sure it's happened sometime. I just found it rather interesting that it appears to happen so infrequently.

I mean I could go through 20 of my own games and come up with the opposite trends I'm sure.

Be my guest, I'd bet an infinite amount of money you wouldn't. Like unless you specifically hunt for those games, that's not going to happen. The odds of people voting town are 5/6 of the time to begin with, so that would actually be even more noteworthy if scum always voted scum.

I've played 80+ games, so if there's enough scum voting scum in those 80, I could probably produce 20 games that would skew it at least.

I think "skewing" results is besides the point. Probably more often than not, Mafia vote Town RVS. Especially true for beginning players.
