It does seem to make a difference to me, although I see no reason for the second poll to be hidden, especially when most of the time it will only contain two choices. Campaigning can be fun. When we start to consider these things for 2013, I'm going to suggest having the first poll always hidden and the second always visible.

For 2013, I suggest they all be hidden because we do have different results. We don't really need a run-off vote unless there is a tie. Then the second poll can be open. I also suggest we do away with the second classic as we should not have the same months more then once a year.

Surely the pool of voters is far too small and the topics too diverse to state that with any certainty? Your assertion is based on what statistical analysis? And what's your margin of error?

I'm disappointed that The Lightning Thief isn't available on Kindle in Canada. The whole global village concept is a farce.

It's based on seeing the results of both hidden and non-hidden votes. There's enough data to suggest that we have a lot closer voting when it's hidden them we do when it's non-hidden.

I won't do that. Obviously they don't want my money so I won't give it to the publisher in any manner on this one. There are plenty of books out there for me to read. Over 800 books every day are published in the US and another 50 every day in Canada. I'm sure I can find something to read.
