I’d love to see more participation, one of the reasons why I started plugging in numbers into a spreadsheet was to track the daily votes, curious how much participation would change each day, and seeing those numbers go down is rather depressing.
I think part of the problem is that it is a rather public poll. Anyone can look and see exactly how you’ve voted.
I noticed paricipation is higher on the weekends than during the weekdays, with yesterday being an exception. Most people may be just too busy or tired to log into FR during the weekdays.
