It was a close election between the top three candidates and as it turns out, the winner only had the third highest total of first place votes. This makes for some interesting election results to analyze.
The election has been reported on Slashdot as well: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/30/053219&mode=thread&tid=117&tid=90
Among the comments: "Congratulations to the winner of an incomprehensible voting system."
If this election had a cycle, it'd be hard to argue with this comment. However, this had a single pairwise winner...the results were close but easily explained. Of course, the author is clearly just being glib in general (read the rest of his comment to see why). Still, there are those who are going to start pondering why the winner won.
