I will ask again: are we going to be satisfied with this poll for determining the Funniest Duo or do we need a runoff vote for some subset of the group? And if the runoff looks like it’s needed, who should be on the slate. For my money, the results here are not persuasive yet. And then there’s the additional issue of Duos that were left off the list to start with. Feedback? ---
