Person of the Year 2016
In order to continue to display full transparency of the process involved in choosing nominees for final voting in The Plan B Person of the Year 2016 competition, I shall reveal the results of your vote casting efforts and explain the outcome:
As I stated in the opening post of this thread, and I quote myself, "The five candidates with the highest amount of votes will be placed in a poll for a final vote".
Given the fact that there are 5 candidates who received 3 votes and two candidates that received more than 3, there are actually 7 candidates that shall qualify. (btw – there was an error in Daisy's vote count, so she received 3, not 4 votes)
The definition of “The five candidates” in the context of my above quote is the five people who receive the most votes or any number of candidates who share an equal amount of votes with others, all of whom would have qualified had the others not obtained an equal number of votes as long as the total amount of candidates would not exceed ten.
The result of the total vote count for the primary is:
Lord Jim - 5
wesw - 5
Daisy - 3
Gob - 3
Crackpot - 3
rubato - 3
Joe Guy - 3
Reality Bytes - 2
Kristina - 1
oldr_n_wsr - 1
Scooter - 1
Guin - 1
All comments and/or challenges to my ruling shall be given consideration and rejected if they conflict with my reasoning.
The poll shall run for 5 days beginning today. Only one vote is allowed and you will not have the ability to change it. Candidates and voters are encouraged to write things and stuff like that.
As a highly unpopular presidential candidate once said after losing the primary,
"Shit! I lost!"
He later said publicly, “Vote your conscience.”
