Since this contest began in July, we've had 39 different voters. Any with 10 or more votes have mail-in ballots included in their totals. As you can see, Bo is the leader with 18 total votes! Others who cast mail-in ballots were Elliptical Man, The Diamond King, Sportscard Collectors, P-Town Tom, Shlabotnik Report, Nine Pockets, The Collector, Pennysleeves, Padrographs, Nachos Grande and Dime Boxes. Numbers below will be updated to reflect any additional mail-in ballots received through Nov 3rd.
While not included on the list above, Fred Pike and Mike Matson took time to create a little foreign interference in the voting process. Mike picked some cards for himself from Pick Pockets as a 'thank you' for his time. Fred will receive a little thank you as well, included with his next pick pocket envelope.
Here's look at voter totals sorted low to high:
I've created a sheet to make entry for the Randomizer easier and accurate. I'll copy/past each column into the Randomizer to ensure no names are left out of the drawing. Again, any additional mail-in ballots received through Nov 3rd will be added to these totals.
I'll prep your Pick Pockets for mailing after the election. Thanks for your patience, Pickers! We'll have a new PP edition available soon. Pick Pockets are for readers who comment on the blog regularly but trade pals will continue to have first dibs. Anyone who happens upon Cracked Bat for the first time is welcome to participate in one round of Pick Pockets.
I hope to see those of you newer to the blog stick around. Many of you have supported this blog from the beginning. You've made this hobby twice the fun. Thank you.
Let's meet back here Tuesday evening around 8pm EST to find out who takes home the Cracked Bat Ballot Box!
