Long Story Short...

We had a bit of very obvious ballot stuffing, even with using polls this year and setting them to not allow duplicate voting from the same address. I don't know how they managed it, but there were some VERY obvious attempts to double, triple, and quadruple vote on certain categories.

So, how to fix this? That's been what's been keeping us from announcing winners. We think we've come up with a solution and so we'll be announcing the winners shortly. In the meantime, we'd like to apologize to those who played by the rules and voted properly.

The categories that are affected are just a few. In order to keep everything uniform, we're going to disallow the very obvious votes by cutting the number of votes for those books by one-third, then comparing to the numbers left for the other entries. The one with the most votes wins. Stay tuned... we'll be announcing the winners shortly!
