Strange that the poll did not close.

That is odd. I definitely remember putting 7 days in, but perhaps I missed something (I think this is my first poll since the website changed format). In any event, Dennis Eckersely and Paul Molitor were elected while Dale Murphy missed by one vote for the second consecutive year. I'll try to get the next poll up tomorrow.

I closed the poll. I won't say you didn't try to type a 7 in the days open box, XX, but if you did, it didn't take.

Thanks for closing Jim. The election should have closed on Friday, but between that time and when Jim closed the poll, one additional vote came in. That vote did not make a difference in terms of who was elected or who would be dropped from the ballot, but it does make a difference in terms of just generally record keeping. For instance, if the poll closed on time, Dale Murphy would have missed by just one vote with over 73% support. The extra vote knocked him down to 70%. While I could adjust Murphy to account for one less ballot, I couldn't adjust everyone that was affected by that 24th vote because I don't know who that 24th voter was. As such, I'm going to let the results stand as is given that no real impact has occurred.

Hopefully I'll get the next poll to close on cue.
