Well if the programmer screwed up then the site should live with the mistake and leave the voting for AOY the way it was. You just can't change stroke in midstream. If Legume wins, and you guys aren't happy about it - take it up with the programmer who screwed up and take steps next year to make sure that it does not happen again. You guys are only compounding the mistake by handling this way - just like you guys compounded the mistake with the emoticons contest for OT.
