I prefer butter smeared, not spread. Take that.

I. I. Don't, don't take my bread from me, alright, Alconja? That's where I draw the line, alright?

All I want is my bread and butter. Take the toaster. Take the microwave. Take it all. But not. My. Untoased bread.

This reminds me of John Oliver's plan to save money by sending every citizen in America a waffle iron. Which would be cheaper than a wall.

And, so he posits, provide more enjoyment to the average American.

Oh man, I can't be the only anxious one. Two hours to go! Aaaaaaaaaaaa.

We'll see! Hope I get it, but who knows.

45 minutes!

It ends at 20:00 UTC, and the results aren't immediately announced, but voting ends immediately and the ballot file is released, so anyone can run it.

(It's real good. I'm a huge fan of what John Oliver does.)

(Yeah! All Hail Mega-Reverend CEO John Oliver.)

(Oh man, one of my favorites was his segment on Puerto Rico, mostly because Lin-Manuel Miranda came and actually wrote a (small) song for it.)

(Why are we whispering? Whis)pers louder.

@Deusovi Yeah, definitely! Hardly expect perfection, but some questions, y'know. Also, mods generally see much more of the low-quality stuff, just because, that's sort of how it's supposed to work.

Please, who doesn't live in America? Maybe, what, 10, 20 people worldwide?

Hey, I like tea, too! In the harbokay that's a bad joke.

It's kind of funny, I thought the election would end an hour earlier than it did, so I've got a lunch scheduled just as the results come out. WHOOPS.

@DanRussell Guesses to riddles are easier to come up with than guesses to logic puzzles, and HNQ is blind to correctness.

Number of answers, answer score, and question score, in order of priority.

They also age out with exponential decay.

Oh man, whoa! Election results!

'grats, @Deusovi, @GentlePurpleRain! I'm seriously happy with this election. You guys will be great.

@feelinferrety Here are the results!

In detail.

@feelinferrety Everyone. Proportionally, every vote that goes into it counts as a fraction of surplus.

If 200 people vote for someone and they only need 100 votes, then half of each vote is redistributed as surplus.

(It's not quite that straightforward, because some people might have fractions of votes in it, but that's the core of it.)

Also, as a quick note, I haven't said much about the candidates this election, because as a mod pro tem, I felt it would be a conflict of interest. This outcome, though, is one I am wholeheartedly happy with. I'm confident in the results our election, and I'm genuinely excited to see how things go from here, honestly!
