Voting irregularities

All, I ran some numbers on the current votes of the dual-mode vote right now. There were a number of voters that I didn't recognize. So I decided to pull some stats. The following voters never voted before the dual-mode RFC went up: dom - no eliw - no kguest - yes kk - no nohn - no oliver - yes richsage - yes sammywg - no spriebsch - no srain - no theseer - no zimt - no Some of these names I recognize from list (sammywg and eliw), but many I do not. The interesting thing happens when you look at the voting direction. Currently, the RFC is slightly losing 70:37 (65.4%). If we look at percentages, 4.2% of yes voters have never voted in a prior RFC. But a whopping 24.3% of no voters have never voted before. If we adjust the votes to remove these "never voted" accounts, it stands at 67:28. Which is 70.5%. Which is basically where the vote was prior to the competing RFC opening. I'm not saying that all of these are bad votes. Nor that they shouldn't be counted. I think it does raise a significant question around the voting practices. Something that I think we need to discuss as a group. So consider that discussion open. Anthony
