I need clarification.

The results for each day’s voting thread will be on that thread? Because thereafter there was discussion on the thread, after the results. Then people began voting on it again.

So I am lost as to where I am allowed to comment on the day’s voting.

And what about those votes after the comments? Were they meant for the next day’s voting?

Maybe we need to keep this commentary thread a running thread, and post the results only on IT so people can discuss the results? And stay strong with the NOTHING BUT THE TWO WORDS on the actual daily voting thread?

Thanks for doing this, D1, and thanks for showing me where the results could be found, Lonely Bull.

I'm not in any way "officially" involved with the caucus, but I have some tentative answers:

The results for each day's voting thread will be on that thread? Because thereafter there was discussion on the thread, after the results. Then people began voting on it again.

So I am lost as to where I am allowed to comment on the day's voting.

I suppose that the late discussion was within the intentions of the thread, but the people who "began voting on it again" and cast "those votes after the comments" were doing so on the wrong daily thread (they should've voted on the thread for the 21st). Their votes will probably be either not counted at all or tallied simply as irregularities, without being added to the candidates' total votes for the proper day (again, the 21st).

Maybe we need to keep this commentary thread a running thread, and post the results only on IT so people can discuss the results?

I can see placing the results on a commentary thread (with a link at the end of the daily voting threads), though of course I won't be deciding in the place of DoughtyOne.

And stay strong with the NOTHING BUT THE TWO WORDS on the actual daily voting thread?

I agree. The instructions are in clear language in the original post (the options are even spelled out), and the procedure is easy to follow. I wouldn't like to make concessions that would force a manual count of hundreds of posts.
