    $\begingroup$ The Stackexchange mechanism for community self moderation seems to work good. The right candidates came out. Congratulations! $\endgroup$ Dec 12, 2012 at 22:48

Am I allowed to post data from the results here? I thought I might save other people some time.

The following is a total count of the number of votes cast for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice for each candidate.

                    1   2   3   all
Chris Gerig         9   15  25  49
Qmechanic           134 38  11  183
Manishearth         23  79  28  130
user1504            5   11  19  35
Larian LeQuella     10  20  35  65
Crazy Buddy         4   8   25  37
MKB                 5   4   10  19
Total votes         190 175 153 518

Of course this misses the cross-correlations, which would be important for runoffs, but your method wouldn't matter much for this election.

The average voter cast a vote for 2.726 candidates. Total of 190 people voted, reflected in the first choice column because you can't vote without casting a first choice.

Indeed, congratulations to the two new moderators! I had a suspicion that this is exactly how it would turn out. Makes all the drama seem rather silly in the end. ;) I think the community made the perfectly correct choices in this, and I am very happy with the final result.

    $\begingroup$ @UnbanRonMaimon: Three independent users marked it as offensive/not constructive with a flag. Three flags cause a comment to be auto deleted :/ I also removed the offensive part of this comment, please don't use such words here.. $\endgroup$ Dec 11, 2012 at 0:09
