Poll question: Help! Veepstakes survivor issue. What should I do?
(the other poll on this I started didn't work and I can't edit it)

hen I got up this morning I checked the veepstakes survivor game here
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=132

And there was over 115 votes(the rules are a winner is called at or before 100). I don't know who would have won according to the rules. But now I'm up the creek because people have continued to vote and it's alternated between Vilsack and Graham, and Landrieu is only 4 votes back.

So the only ethical thing I can think of, (unless the moderators can track the voting history to see what the score was at 100 votes sometime last night or early this morning) is to let the voting go till a new number.
It's at 118 votes as of this posting.

What is the fairest course of action

What should be done?

1. Why not do it again?
Since we have no paper ballots, we cannot recount. So let's start over.

Just my thoughts.

2. Send it to the Supreme Court!!
In this instance, they automatically declare Tom DeLay to be the next Vice President of the United States!
