Thank you for the discussion thread. It’s a good idea, lets folks discuss the process and keeps the thread clean.

I want folks to know I will be using Excel to create a spreadsheet with the vote. There will be sorting, and an elimination process.

Any violations will be caught. I’m not playing favorites.

You don’t need to send me a notice, and I’d rather not single folks out here who didn’t play by the rules.

I intend to send a note to each person who disqualified themselves using FReepmail. I wish I didn’t need to.

Coming up with preliminary results is okay, but I do want to urge you to only use estimates instead of hard counts. I do want to review the data before I come up with a final tally, and I don’t want folks settling on firm numbers before I review who disqualified their votes.

You may or may not catch them, so just approximates if you will.

On the forum I have advocated for Trump. I will not be voting in the Caucus. I don’t want to run it and then vote in it.

I will be as fair as I can be. It will never be my intent to suppress one Cruz vote. Please, Cruzers, read the rules and abide by them. Don’t put me in the position of having to cancel your vote.

I want this to be as fair as it can possibly be.

I am going to be providing a chart for each day’s vote, and what the trends are. For this reason I am applying the rules from day one.

I don’t want folks to be able to come back at me and say the first few days were tainted, because I didn’t apply the rules those days.

If anyone has questions, I’d be happy to answer them.

Thanks again for taking the initiative to put this daily poll together. I think it will go a long way toward calming much of the fractious infighting we’re now experiencing, as day by day, the members will begin to see an overall consensus developing around one candidate.

As you tally the daily votes would it also be possible to count the disqualified ballots?

This is such a good idea, that I think it would be great if the mods would help out by removing any unrelated posts from the threads.

That’s why I put the discussion thead up. I’d be happy to create a new one each day if you like.

Thanks..... You have answered my earlier question.

Good plan. It’s a lot of work, but the results will be reliable.

Can we make it a secret ballot?

I forgot to say thanks. This was a good idea.

If anyone has questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Just wondering if you are automating the validation / counting process with software tools, or is it all manual?
