1. Uh...I'm not sure how to proceed with this

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?

2. So sorry. I fixed it with explanation.

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.

3. Not the sort of 'fix' I was expecting to add

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.

4. OK, that seems like a good idea. Let me get on it.

5. Thank you. I wondered if a Trumpster had hacked

into your computer to count the votes.

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

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

8. Thank you for hosting!

I'm looking forward to participating in future contests here (and I've always enjoyed seeing the creativity of my fellow DUers)...

[alfredo]

9. Please do. Bring friends.

10. Voting will close Monday evening. Looks like a close race for 1 and 2, and 3 and 4.

11. About that tied score....

[alfredo]

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

13. Now the fun part is

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.

[alfredo]

14. I never vote for myself. The stakes are not very high, so enjoy.

[ManiacJoe]

15. I will leave it as is.

I honestly think the other photo is the better one.

16. Opinions are divided on which is best.
