If you are one of these people, and for some reason you never received a
ballot via e-mail, please write me ASAP!

I sent an email to Todd but on reflection I think that the questions I asked
ought to be publicly asked.

1. My MO as "auditor" was going to be to stash the ballots in a safe place
and not do anything more unless and until someone raises a question about
voting irregularities, at which point I would examine them closely to see if
I got the same ballots sent to me as Todd did, and the same results from
examining them as Todd did. Does anyone think I should be doing anything
differently?

Now would be a good time to speak up. (earlier would be better but I forgot
to ask earlier)... and no going to the Florida SC to get me DQed for not
asking earlier, either. :-)

Reminder:  Failure to vote disqualifies your entries.

2. Suppose J. Fred Muggs entered and ends up not voting. Does everyone who
voted for one of Mr. Muggs's entries have to revote? If so, we could get a
domino, in that if one of THEM doesn't vote the second time, and gets DQed,
we could have to have a THIRD round of votes and so on...

(remember, the rules say you have to spend all your votes or your entries
are DQed... a vote for a DQed entry could be argued to be a non spent vote,
and thus you haven't met your obligation to spend them all, or it could be
argued that you met your duty in voting even if the entry was DQed through
no fault of your own...)

I prefer the second option. Maybe the rules take care of this problem and I
missed it, though...

(...) I don't think this was covered in the rules either. I say that if there are disqualifications, we simply sack those entries and call winners from the remaining pool. It's taken what-- 3 weeks from the end of the contest already. I'm not (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

(...) No, the title would just go to the one with the next-highest number of vote- points in that category. (...) Ya, too messy. (...) That's what I had in mind, yes. (...) It's not spelled out, unfortunately. --Todd (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
