What Happened

[Sam Spade]

Ford had my 1st pref. easily before Saturday night's shenaigans occurred.

Ford wins quite easily, actually, if Saturday night doesn't occur.

John Ford was pretty much on track to winning, and most definitly would have won had he not dropped out, interestingly to note.

Pretty much on track?  He was leading by three or four votes when he made the announcement, if I remember correctly.  He certainly had a better chance at winning at the time than I did, but it's not as if he already had the election sewn up.

Considering that Al wouldn't have deleted his vote, at the very least, putting the election to a tie, and then that would be settled with who has the majority of first preferences, which Ford had, Ford would have most definitly won.  And that disregards the people who later voted for you that might have voted for Ford had he not already dropped out.  And that disregardes the chance of Dazzleman's and thefactor's votes being counted.

So just keep that in mind.

I believe it is Dazzleman and Kevin, not thefactor.

And you would be correct. It was Dazzleman and Kevin.
