Cast Your Vote Here

Here is a list of the authors who have obtained the most votes so far..

I created a list like this about 17 years ago for the prior century.  This most interesting this about last time was the votes came in much faster back then. This si true despite the fact that the site gets an order of magnitude more traffic today and there was no such thing as social media.  My mailing list was smaller.  

I've been wondering what gives;

• Has the nature of the web changed in such a way that people are simply less willing to actively participate on the web--web fatigue of sorts?
• Maybe we've moved past looking at authors based upon their so-called "race," and are truly in post-racial environment where polls like this are antiquated, passe.
• Maybe there are just fewer people interested in Black authors.
• Maybe people are simply unaware of the new poll, and I need to share it on social media.

I dunno, I could easily argue against and have data to dispute any of the above being true. 

At any rate, I'll keep the voting going until indefinitely it will be a living, breathing list.  Ultimately I allow the page to be updated in real-time.

I hope you all have voted.

If not tell me why you have not voted. Is it one of the reasons listed above or something else?
