Yes, there are a number of lovely quotes for future Bitch threads, but One... Good... Day looks like the consensus.

Quick questions on the presentation of the vote results tonight -

Can I put the results in a t table without causing a problem? Yes, I will close the tag.

My understanding is that the % for Yes/No does not include No Preference votes. Example: A vote of Yes 40, No 10 and No Preference 50 would be Yes wins with 80%. btw, no vote looks like that.

I plan to show mean, median and mode just because. Should I list the raw numbers for those who are curious?

Shouldn't be a problem. That's how Jengod(?) presented the results of the first ballot. Just try to limit how much we'll need to scroll right.

Correctomundo.

My no preference voting was in protest out of my frustration w/the ballot process. . . I mean, why shouldn't you be able to vote on only one or two issues?

You can vote that way in normal elections.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You mean, apart from "no preference", Sumi?

I think the problem (which I only just realized) is that I didn't allow a "no preference" on the fill-in-the-box questions. My bad. Too late to fix it now.

t edit but, again, it says at the bottom that if you have trouble with the form, to just email your ballot.

But, the problems I was having with the ballot were so frustrating. It made me really not want to bother. Can we do it differently next time? Am I the only person who had that problem?

Yeah, you can email your ballot. Which is what we were expecting everyone to do until I volunteered to create a form that would make it simpler for most people.

Sorry -- that came out meaner than I intended.
