So I’ve restarted the demonstration election with all the candidates included from the most recent listing, discontinued the prior demonstration, and set a termination for the demonstration one day earlier: May 25, 2008. The demonstration election is unscientific, but I'm administering it to promote alternative voting systems and give observers some sense of the comparative and shared support among LP presidential candidates. The link to vote in this demonstration election accompanies this post, but it is: <a href="http://www.demochoice.org/dcballot.php?poll=LPPres2008" rel="nofollow">http://www.demochoice.org/dcballot.php?poll=LPPres2008</a> The results of the first demonstration election were: None Of The Above (NOTA) 24 (48.0%) Steve Kubby 26 (52.0%) None of these 2 Results Steve KubbyElected None Of The Above (NOTA)Defeated The first round results of the discontinued poll were: Round 1 None Of The Above (NOTA) 19 (36.5%) Steve Kubby 10 (19.2%) George Phillies 9 (17.3%) Christine Smith 5 (9.6%) Wayne Allyn Root 4 (7.7%) Gene Chapman 1 (1.9%) Dave Hollist 1 (1.9%) Robert Milnes 1 (1.9%) Mike Jingozian 1 (1.9%) Barry Hess 1 (1.9%) It’s come to my attention that votes for some of the candidates who entered the race after the demonstration election I created at DemoChoice.org were not being added to the totals.

I'm hoping the audio is clearer as well, because I'm having a hard time hearing some of what the candidates are saying on the audio-only format.
