[King]

Now that the creator of DemoChoice was kind enough to install a new anti-spammer confirmation system, we can finally use this and get more accurate results:

This is what happens when you try to vote again after you have voted a first time:

Our records show that you have recently voted.
Please wait a few hours before casting another vote.
We suggest reading how it works in the meantime.
If something is wrong, please contact us.

And why would you be trying that, Mr. Colin?

Trying to see if it is actually blocking spamming. I remember trying DemoChoice as a polling service once before and it allowed infinite votes. Just trying to see if this actually was a one vote per person poll now.

Completed; I found the features associated with the poll excellent. (If only DemoChoice could have allowed a section asking who should be Siege's VP pick...)

[King]

I am going to try to do one every Wednesday until the election so we can have a tracking poll thing.

Excellent idea.

Very interesting results so far.

How does it decide who gets eliminated if there's a tie between the losing preferences?

According to this:

What happens if there is a tie?

Ties are not a very significant issue in public elections, because the number of ballots is large and ties are statistically rare. However, in a demonstration poll like this, they can happen frequently. Here, they are broken by comparing votes in successively previous rounds, or by random lot if that fails.
