As I mentioned in the original thread, I noticed some unusual results coming through with the voting. It became increasingly evident that someone essentially "stuffed the ballot box" for Todd Day. It's really annoying that I have to do this, but I am going to do a re-vote with a poll here on the board + on Twitter. I do not mind if you vote in both polls. What I want to avoid is someone voting literally hundreds of times for one player, which is what happened with the Google form I created for the final originally. I will then combine the two polls to determine the winner.

(How do I know the original poll was rigged? Well, for one, I got more votes this round than in any other round. Like double the amount of votes as the previous few rounds. Plus, I can see the order in which the votes were received. Todd Day received just 29 votes out of the first 174 ballots submitted - or just 16.7%. He then received 17 straight votes. That was the first of several "streaks" he had, with one being more than 30 straight. The odds of flipping a coin and it coming up the same side 30 straight times is roughly 1 in 1 billion - and it'd be even longer odds when you throw in the fact that was clear Williamson was the favorite and it wasn't a true 50/50 thing like flipping a coin.)
