I'm not a voter so I dunno if I should even be taking a position (election
officials are supposed to be impartial, right) but unfortunately... I
already did take a position, which is to agree with you.

Well (1), remember, we're dealing with Todd here. Todd can make some
glaciers look fast, as anyone who has waited on AucZILLA parts knows. It's
part and parcel of the process, presumably everyone knew going in. It's not
like waiting for the winners is going to delay the delivery of your trophy
and prize check! :-) Just think of it as increasing the anticipation. Good
things come to those who wait and all that.

I think he's doing just that (setting a deadline). But my question was
around what to do if someone doesn't get their votes in by the "deadline". 2
people, one of them not a voter, do not a consensus on that make, but we're
in agreement, anyway, and maybe everyone else will agree as well. Todd's
call though.
1 - please read this entire paragraph in good fun, it's a gentle tease, not
a flame. Todd wouldn't be Todd if he didn't move deliberately.
