Thanks again for taking the initiative to put this daily poll together. I think it will go a long way toward calming much of the fractious infighting we’re now experiencing, as day by day, the members will begin to see an overall consensus developing around one candidate.

As you tally the daily votes would it also be possible to count the disqualified ballots?

This is such a good idea, that I think it would be great if the mods would help out by removing any unrelated posts from the threads.

That’s why I put the discussion thead up. I’d be happy to create a new one each day if you like.

1. I had also wondered if it might calm things. We’ll see. Interesting thought.

2. I will be posting the number of invalidated votes. I won’t provide the specific breakdown, because that would simply validate the vote, since folks could then add the numbers to each candidate’s totals.

3. It will not be possible to remove posts. Questions would arise, were some candidate’s votes being removed arbitrarily. Was a decent idea though. The thread becomes a record of sorts, for verification.
