If possible, I’d like to know how many WGA Members voted.
Also, Mr. Thorson, how about a map to show where the votes came from, like the membership map you did sometime ago.
Mr. WISearcher
02/14/2005 at 8:05 pm #1758394Here’s the numbers from another posting on the subject:
Brian Jansen 62 (17%)
John Carvin 47 (13%)
Ray Handley 47 (13%)
Ruth Holliday 43 (12%)
Jeff Rahmlow 32 (9%)
William Pulvermacher 31 (8%)
Bob Rathbone 30 (8%)
Bob Wheeler 28 (8%)
Randall Paske 25 (7%)
Steve Bukosky 23 (6%)In theory … that’s about 73 or so people voting. I’m glad to see the number is much higher than a typical “cache of the month vote” (as I mentioned it would be, in a prior topic posting). Yes these numbers are still low … but when you glance at the names that post topic messages, I’d say that it fairly represents the “actively” participants in the WGA website.
02/14/2005 at 8:16 pm #1758395Yup, thanks.. I figured starting a new topic since it was slightly different. The numbers shown don’t answer the number of members, just how many votes were received. With 5 votes per team, I don’t know the algebraic solution to reverse engineer the numbers. but you are probably right or very close.

02/14/2005 at 9:04 pm #1758396Simple demographics:
Total number of members who have nominated: 24
Total number of nominations: 82Total number of members who have voted: 82
Total number of votes: 368(Yes some voted for less than 5 people)
As to the map, thats a Tuesday afternoon project because I got a loonnngg class tonight. But it can be done.

Don’t you dare make people think I’m good at math … that’s a fib!
368 votes / 5 per person = 73.6
(52 weeks in a year x 2) + 7 day week = 111
73.6 x 111% = 82 voters
Isn’t that how everyone does it!?!?02/15/2005 at 4:35 am #1758398Sorry, no red state versus blue state maps but just some that show summary data from the election.
Our webmasters have built a very solid system for collecting the nominations and processing the vote. The system makes these items possible.
First, where the votes came from:
The number indicates the quantity of votes from that zip. It was not unusual that people voted for less than 5 candidates, hence the non-nickel numbers..
.
.
Second, the same map with the killer B’s added. The B indicates the rough location where the board members live. If I missed, they’ll just have to move to make the map correct.
.
.
.
Finally, a chart that shows on what days the votes were cast. You can see that of the 368 votes, 300 were cast in the first few days.[This message has been edited by jthorson (edited 02-14-2005).]
02/15/2005 at 5:49 pm #1758399Excellent job on the information charts!
My work involves a state program, you could just about overlay the same state map for particpation. There’s nothing mysterious about particiption or lack there of in the WGA; I suspect its typical of most things going on in the state. We struggle at the office daily on getting the attention of business and individuals in the less densily populated areas of the state.
At the same time, it is good to see board members representing the clusters of the more active members.

02/15/2005 at 10:51 pm #1758400Jeff, thanks for all the work you put into this and the rest of the election process.
I hope that your leaving the board is only a front to actually do more caching.

Actually, it frees me up to do some synchronized swimming. I’ll still be as active a cacher, volunteer and WGA member as ever.
02/16/2005 at 12:55 am #1758402Normally I am not a big fan of synchronized swimming but please let us all know when your first show is and I am sure a lot of us will make it Jeff.

I don’t believe that for a second! As a matter of fact I think WizBit was second runner up for making the ’68 US Olympic synchro swim team. Too bad about blowing out that knee or he would of been a shoe in come ’72.
Bob02/18/2005 at 3:10 am #1758404Actually it was the mile swim in ’68 Bob.
I lost out to a call girl in Venice who worked both sides of the street.02/18/2005 at 1:22 pm #1758405quote:

Hey now…get it right! I’m not from VENICE! I have Venetian Blinds in my room. But you’re right…I did win. It wasn’t all bad though, was it Jeff?
