As I understand it currently 50% of the votes come from the public, 50% from judges. Is this not correct ?

That is correct.

There are some small exceptions, such as in San Marino, where their small population (~32,000) and sharing of phone infrastructure with Italy makes it difficult to calculate a valid independent televote. And televotes can sometimes be ruled invalid by the auditor (PwC) if their auditing suggests it has been manipulated.

And sometimes it's the jury votes that are ruled invalid. This happened in 2015 when both FYR Macedonia and Montenegro were 100% televote:
