Votes via DUFU at FR:
DOTY
Choose Ye This Day votes for Nads

And I don't know if you or frank caught this vote over at the DUFU at FR on Monday, by NYpeanut:

So, I’m sticking with my vote for Nadin.

As Nadin's campaign manager, I want to make sure I get this DOTY vote for her in before the polls close.

Duly recorded, sir.

I'm thinking about honoring you with the appointment of tallying votes from the DUmmie FUnnies next year.

Comparable to butterfly ballot confusion in Palm Beach County, I must register a complaint about how the voting here has been INADEQUATELY--and some would say, UNFAIRLY--explained. To wit: Some are voting for my candidate, Ms. Brzezinski, for the Willie--or the Broken Elbow, or the Golden Bong. Which is all well and good. But some of these same people are NOT voting for her for one of the Top DUmmies! How can this be?? I think some have been laboring under the misapprehension that, if you vote for Nadsie for the Willie, for instance, you cannot ALSO vote for her for the DOTY! But no! That is not true! OF COURSE you can vote for Nadin for the DOTY too! Please do! And if you run out of time, I will file a formal protest with the election judges that you have been disenfrenchfried.

NO NADIN, NO JUSTICE! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! OCCUPY THE CAVE! WE ARE THE 99%!

[Charles Henrickson]

Less that one business hour to go. Get those Nadin-for-DOTY votes in, people. I'm expecting a late surge of votes coming in from some of the urban precincts.

Dead people can vote here, right?

Well now, her name appears on the ballot in the appropriate places.

I think many voters think as franksolich does; yeah, one's good enough to be a top primitive, but on the other hand one's even better for one of the special awards.....and so one votes for a primitive for the special award, and uses another vote for another primitive for the top primitive.

In fact, I blatantly admitted that's what I do, when voting.

This way, it might work out that 24, rather than only 20, primitives get acknowledged.

[Charles Henrickson]

I just know that if Ms. Brzezinski does NOT get Top DUmmie #1 for 2011, there will be hell to pay. We'll know the fix was in.

VOTER-VERIFIED PAPER BALLOTS! PUBLICIZE NADIN'S PLIGHT! DU IT FOR ANDY!

[thundley4]

Okay, I'm convinced.  I cast one vote for nadinletters for DOTY.

I'm guessing she's coming in as primitive #03, primitive #02, or top primitive, at least.

Remember, none of us have any idea how the secret balloting went, other than Mr. Wiggum, and he's not telling.

And then there's voting over at our old home to be counted too.

I'm guessing it'll be the yenta for top primitive, but I've been wrong every year but one.

Last year, for example, it looked to me as if the generalissimo dude had won.

But nope, he had to settle for second place.

The deal is, voting can be very narrow, just one or two votes separating two primitives.

Willie - Taverner
Newbie - MiddleFingerMom
Broken elbow - bobbolink
Golden - Sarah Ibarruri

Ten - DainBramaged, nadinbrzezinski, Tavener, Horse With no Name, Sarah Ibarruri, Stinky the Clown, Omaha Steve, ThomWV, NNN0LHI, mike_c


Nadin must win!  

[Charles Henrickson]

Okay, I'm convinced.  I cast one vote for nadinletters for DOTY.

Thank you. Where do you want the carton of triage milk delivered?

[Chris_]

I added two additional DUmmies to my ballot and emailed a moderator.  I never got a response.

Sorry about that, sir.  I remembered.  I'll pass it on to Mr. Wiggum, to be sure they're counted, but he probably already noted them.

[Chris_]

Thanks.

[Charles Henrickson]

Ten - [some putz], nadinbrzezinski. . . .

Thank you. I see that vote.

Nadin must win!

Precisely, sir. Or there will be rioting in the streets. Overturned cars. Looting. That sort of thing.

[franksolich]

My other guess is that Chief S itting Bull took the Willie.

But we don't know yet.

[GOBUCKS]

It isn't clear to me whether the ten votes for Top DUmmy must include ten individual DUmmies.

In recognition of our muslim President being a product of the Cook County democrat machine,
one should be allowed to cast ten votes for a single DUmbass.

If nadin doesn't win, couches will burn in the streets.

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

One vote for one primitive.  Ten votes for ten different primitives.

Can you imagine the nightmare your suggestion would cause, in tallying votes?

[franksolich]

Again, my fear is that my fellow alum, Lord Marblehead, and the elusive enigmatic Elad will end up in the top ten, meaning my having to write an award for them.

I can't say anything but nice stuff about Skins, and can write only half a paragraph on Elad, so I'd be in a pretty pickle there.  If they come in somewhere as top primitives #11-20, it'd be okay. 

I'm sweating on this one.

[Revolution]

Sorry about that. I had to.

[franksolich]

Voting has now closed; may the best primitives win!

Thank you--very much--to all who participated.

Tentatively, the schedule is this:

24 December: the runners up for Top DUmmies of 2011 (top primitives #11-20)
25 December: the Willie
25 December: the newbie
25 December: the broken elbow
25 December: the golden bong
26 December: Top DUmmies #10 and #09
27 December: Top DUmmies #08 and #07
28 December: Top DUmmies #06 and #05
29 December: Top DUmmies #04 and #03
30 December: Top DUmmie #02
31 December: Top DUmmie of 2011

Oh my.

Lurking primitives are still reading this closed thread.

The primitives can kiss franksolich's ass.
