LJ Advisory Board voting

[rm]

Today is the last day to vote in the LJ Advisory Board election.

Please remember that ranked voting is your friend. If your first choice candidate is eliminated, your vote will go to your second choice candidate. This means you can express your preferences and be pragmatic at the same time (i.e., if you are concerned about fannish representation and support me, vote for me in position one and legomymalfoy in position two -- if I am eliminated, your vote will go to her).

I am currently in third place, but have a tremendous amount of second choice votes, which means I still have a very slim chance of taking this thing.

You have until midnight EST

... I never did write that rant about why this is a really lousy voting system to pick one candidate, did I (as applied to the LJ elections, I mean, rather than Cambridge University-specific)?

I don't suppose it'll make a huge amount of difference, mind, given how corrupt the electorate seems to be. But I would contend that you'd probably have a considerably higher chance of winning if Condorcet was being used, given your huge number of second choice votes.

It's not a good situation. If jameth doesn't win, he'll cry voter fraud; if he does, LJ is basically somewhere I don't want to be.

If jameth doesn't win, he'll cry voter fraud.

As my prophecies go, that really was one of the easier ones, you know!
