>From the Steve's email: "- The 13 seats will be offered to the 13 nominees with the highest cumulative votes. That means 13 bottom choice votes (ie 13) are worth the same as a single top choice vote (ie 1)."
So, they all count the same.

Is this right...??? Number 1 ... all the number one votes decided number one. Number 2 ... all the number two votes decided number two. etc. This could be strange... if someone is voted for them most times in the 1 to 13 range... but they are not voted top ever, it could work like our last presidential election. HEY... Fusebox CHAD's. COOL! How does the tally actually work? Thanks. John >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/30/02 03:08PM >>> The nominations are in for the official Fusebox steering committee, and the polls are now open. Please set aside some time, and put some thought into your voting. The Fusebox steering committee will be in charge of the official Fusebox specification. Any change requests to the specification will go through this committee. Here's how the voting works: - Only members can vote, you can sign up to be a member at http://www.fusebox.org. - There are 13 spots on the steering committee up for grabs - Each voter votes for 13 people, ranking their top choice number 1, and their bottom choice number 13 - You can only vote once, so spend some time reviewing the nominees before you vote. - Voting will be open all week. The polls will close next monday, votes will be tallied, and results released. - The 13 seats will be offered to the 13 nominees with the highest cumulative votes. That means 13 bottom choice votes (ie 13) are worth the same as a single top choice vote (ie 1). - If an elected person declines the seat on the committee, the next runner up will be offered the spot. This will continue until all 13 seats are filled. Good luck to the nominees, and let the voting begin!
