Here's the official ballot for April 2017. The highlight is our KotM
candidate, Silver Slimer, who melted down spectacularly at the start of
the month, got nominated for a whole raft of kook awards, and promptly
went into hiding in the forlorn hope that everyone would have forgotten
about him by the time polls opened in the last week of the month.
The Drumpf this month is a three-way race, with Silver Slimer up against
perennial winner Gregory Hall and, unusually, also that "%" creature.
Slimer and Hall are also tussling for the Palmjob Paddle after both
received thorough spankings from half of Usenet early in the month. In
every other award category this month, one kook is running unopposed, so
don't expect too much excitement in any other races than the Paddle and
the Misogyny Award.
Ignore the flood of fake ballots that will undoubtedly be posted by some
butthurt kook starting shortly after this post appears and continuing
intermittently until May 1. If it doesn't say "Nadegda
<nad31...@gmail.invalid>" in the From and come via Eternal-
September, it's phony and won't even be shredded and used to line Fluffy's
litter box. Real ballots from known kooks might be dignified with Fluffy's
attention, and ballots from kookologists and anyone else without a recent
history of winning kook awards will actually be counted.
Ballots posted to alt.usenet.kooks or to alt.fan.cyberchicken will
certainly be seen by the vote wrangler, so if you want to be sure your
vote is counted, crosspost to at least one of those groups.
