That's why I am giving it more than a week. This is based heavily on the US primary system, and even moreso on the Texas version. In Texas you may vote for one Democrat OR one Republican OR one Libertarian OR one Green OR one Independent (by way of a ballot initiative), but you may ONLY vote for one person during the primary season. You may not vote for someone in the Democratic Primary, and then choose to support the ballot initiative of an Independent. That's considered voting twice. You may then vote once more between the Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green, and Independent candidates, and choose which of the five that garnered the most votes in their respective primaries deserve to represent you in government. It really does force you to examine each candidate fielded first by each primary, and then by each party. I felt this would give a truer sense of the Org's Editors' collective will, and also be much less tallying work for me as Organiser.
