I already voted, but I don't think it's fair to vote more than once.

Actually, that's the way this game is played. You can vote once every 24 hours.

What?! That's a perversion of the democratic processes! I hope Mak doesn't find out about this!

(BTW, I voted - Bad Astronomy currently has a plurality, but not a majority. Go, BA!)

Climate Audit is in second place but seems to be closing the gap rapidly.

No, just a slight modification of the Chicago Process... Vote Early. Vote Often.

BA leads by about 400 votes; Climate Audit is currently second; Pharyngula is third.
The love train chugs on.

Any response?

I think quite a lot of people just click on new posts to see what's up rather than go to specific forums.

So can you vote twice in 24 hrs if you do it from a different computer or IP address?

Internet voting is always cheesy. It's fine for things like polls and such, but when it is for something like this it's impossible to fully eliminate cheating.

Meanwhile, the website seems to be down...

The voting site is back up. BA leads by about 300 votes. Voting ends November 8 at 5 PM EST.

As of writing, BA trails by 387.

Just checked a couple minutes ago:

Good lord, that's close. If that count stands, you can bet there will be some howling on CA in the morning!

As of now: Bad Astronomy: 20,681
Climate Audit: 20,634
Are they finished "recounting"? I don't know. Maybe someone who knows more about computers could tell me how you recount. I naively assumed that a computer at "weblogawards" would keep a running total of the votes and know the winner at 5 PM EST, when the polls closed. I am glad that BA won (if the recounts are over), but I am also curious about the process.

Is there a prize?

I went back to the Weblog Awards site to look for info on the method and rational for the recount. The site mentioned having to "certify" the tally. It also says,

Maybe that's it, or maybe not.

They are actually stiil recounting. The tally just changed to
BA: 20,683
CA: 20,638

At last count, BA won.

Congratulations!

Site also says: "The winner should be announced Monday."

Bragging rights, and the ability to put a "Weblog winner" graphic on your site.

I see other prizes too...

I visited climate audit. It seems we have some good sports here. He also added a link to the BA Blog on his website. He said he had never heard of the BA blog til this voting.

Similarily, he says the other runners may not be getting the recognition they deserve.

This little poll has opened up a few doors in the Battle against Ignorance

So I would say that we all get a prize...

CONGRATULATIONS

(It was my vote that put BA over the top. )
