Questionable Steel Ballots 2005

Questionable was used in the preceding because there seems to have been a campaign of sorts against Expedition GeForce as six european ballots ranked EGF as the worst coaster they had ever been on and quite a number of others ranked it way down on their ballot. For comparison, no ballot even came close to doing this to the other co-number 1 Superman. If EGF were simply removed from just two of these ballots it would be in a tie that would be broken in EGF's favor by mutual rider preference. In my opinion, it is obvious that some people tried to alter the outcome of the poll. EGF and SRoS were declared co-#1's as that is the solution that is least distasteful to me. Some among the ballots in question: #'s 6, 30, 32, 59, 78, 89, 216 The were also some people who used the poll helper who did not take the time to adequately order their ballots which resulted in an alphabetical bias based on the order that the rides were listed on the ballot. I deleted portions of ballots in which I detected excessive alphabetical ranking. Ballots affected: #'s 30, 64, 91, 154, 157, 256. I felt these steps necessary to protect the integrity of the poll.
