Summary: voting confusion

Comment: Excellent, so if this observation doesn’t expose all the weaknesses of our current voting scheme, I don’t know what will. It’s actually – believe it or not – working correctly at the moment: Omphalina ericetorum beats the deprecated Phytoconis e. even at the long odds of 17% to 50% since they are synonyms of one another. The one potential bug here that I see is that it unaccountably seems to think the “observer” (John Harlan) prefers all the names but one! (John, if you wouldn’t mind telling me how you’ve voted (in private if you like), I’d like to see if this really is a bug.)
