Hey, Rob! I snuck over to the library, after all. Just for a quick fix. I'll be on my way home soon.

I'm really surprised our most 'well paid' writer isn't on the lists.

Nope.

That surprised me when the lists first came out. What surprises me now is he's not bleating about it.

I'm pretty sure that the notation about self-nominations getting low priority was new this year. Am I remembering that correctly?

 

[sethp]

Nope.

Answered like a woman with a nominated poem. A fine one, I might add. One of my personal faves.

Not that I'm plugging Cloudy's poem or anything. I don't believe in contests.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

Why can't I find the voting thread when I look for it? What thread is it in?

It's by category. A separate thread for each.

The primaries are the toughest part of an election year, aren't they?

My stupidity! I was looking in the AH!

The voting threads are mostly symbolic. We super-delegates will make the final decision.

You joke but in most cases the winner is decided by less than 100 voters.

I know. And about 70 of the 100 often seem to be people who joined Literotica during the last hour of voting...I think this is what's called "a surge," or "the youth vote."



The first time I watched this contest closely and witnessed that sudden surge of election enthusiasm during the final hour of voting, it was comparable to seeing Secretariat and Native Dancer and Seattle Slew racing toward a photo-finish, ahead of the field by a dozen lengths - only to have Pokey the Pony materialize in a puff of magic dust right at the finish line.

It would be interesting to see if these last-hour surges would still occur, if poll results were hidden from viewers until the announcement of winners.

I'd like it better if that was the case.

I call them origami voters, each fold produces a new name
