Look.

We can’t have twenty-six fundies of the year. We’ve got to filter them down first.

For this first phase, we’ll do a month-long poll of just the religious fundies. The top five will be kept for the final round. Then we’ll move on to the other categories with more than seven entries and do the same. Then, finally, we’ll do a reasonably-sized final round that won’t be eaten alive by ballot fatigue.

Edit: The top five were: Rev. Paul Mackenzie (score=5.0), John Piper (score=4.75), Kathy Schroeder (score=4.75), Timothy, Tina, and Damian (score=4.40), and Mohammad Ismail Zarei (score=4.25)
