I don't think the voting will be fair.  Nathaniel  cross-posted this to a
widely-read Andrew bboard (used for general announcements), giving readers the
option of automatically sending a yes vote.  However, there wasn't a no vote
alternative.  (The alternative was not sending a vote at all.)  Just because
sending a no vote is much more painful for the hundreds/thousands of readers of
the Andrew bboard, the voting results will be tremendously biased.

I think Nathaniel should discard all votes from the andrew.cmu.edu mail domain.
