Uh...I'm not sure how to proceed with this mnhtnbb Dec 2016 #1

So sorry. I fixed it with explanation. alfredo Dec 2016 #2

Not the sort of 'fix' I was expecting to add mnhtnbb Dec 2016 #3

OK, that seems like a good idea. Let me get on it. alfredo Dec 2016 #4

Thank you. I wondered if a Trumpster had hacked mnhtnbb Dec 2016 #5

I fixed it and cast the first vote. Once again, sorry for the screw up. alfredo Dec 2016 #6

Aww...I just wish we could have a do-over for the election. mnhtnbb Dec 2016 #7

About that tied score.... ManiacJoe Dec 2016 #11

Love it, and I will love the 5 hour runoff if it stays tied. ;) alfredo Dec 2016 #12

but I would like an explanation why a photo with fewer votes from the Prelims Thread 1 http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028363564

(Overcast afternoon--9 votes) --made it in to the finals when a photo with more votes in the same Prelims Thread 1 (After the Rain--Through the Blinds--13 votes) was not included in the finals?

I had added the Sonora image twice, and in fixing it, I added the wrong image in its place. I put a note on the thread.

the photo after 50 some votes had already been cast: take the whole finals thread down, offer a mea culpa, redo the grouping and start over.

Just go ahead and remove the photo or I will.

I did not vote for me.
So, I could take my third-place vote and give it to Richard so that he gets the "prize" of hosting next month.
