The opening round generated 94,550 total votes. Of those, 5,081 were write-in votes. Unfortunately, only 2,299 were valid write in votes. Leaving 2,782 failed write in votes. More sad, this is not even the worst year percentage wise of ineligible write in votes.
As some of you who follow me on twitter, facebook, tumblr or right here on this site know, I have warned many people this year about writing in nominees in categories they either A- are already nominated in, or B- are not eligible for. As you have surely noticed on prior results posted. Votes for write in votes of already nominated challengers were taken off their total in the round 1 results. HOWEVER, as we all know, when you add up the write in votes, and the votes shown for write in votes...they don't even come close to adding up. This is where the write in votes for people, or shows NOT eligible in a category come in. I have tabulated a SUBSTANTIAL list of them over the 27 categories. As I said repeatedly, doing this would lead to penalties. This year, I have decided the best way to do this is to take votes against a person/character and add them all up, divide them by all the categories they are eligible for round 2 in. So say "Person A" had 72 bad votes, and are eligible in 3 categories, they would have 24 votes against them in each category to be taken off. How this will be done is, this round, 75% of those votes will be taken off. 18, per category. If the person still makes the finals in all 3 categories, the other 25% will be taken out there, costing them 6 votes each category there. If they only make it in 1 category, all the left over votes will go into the 1 category then, meaning 18 votes will be lost by person A in that category in the finals. If they don't make any finals, then the penalties just vanish since the person whose fans made the incorrect votes was eliminated. I saw several "whats it matter, its not hurting anyone" comments. Which I suppose is technically right. I mean I wasn't physically harmed (as far as I know) from counting all the excess votes. HOWEVER, my TIME and patience were wasted to add them all up. Each write in vote has to be added up manually because of the countless spelling and punctuation varieties fans came up with for some of them. For 3 years I have warned fans thru the various social media platforms, as well as on here, this COULD happen....and several fanbases chose to ignore the statements. Thus why this year, those votes WILL be collected off the totals. Perhaps NEXT YEAR, certain fan bases will read things more thoroughly. I did NOT keep track of anyone with less than 3 votes, as about 20% of the nominees had at least 1 against them.... and that's a LOT of people to track. Only the more frequent offenders were catalogued. 1280 - Zoie Palmer/Lauren Lewis (5 selections) 441 - Emmanuelle Vaugier/Evony the Morrigan (1 selection) 71 - Anna Silk/Bo Dennis (4 selections) 46 - Ksenia Solo/Kenzi (3 selections) 27 - Kris Holden-Ried (3 selections) 9 - Lana Parrilla/Evil Queen (3 selections) 7 - Melissa McBride/Carol Peletier (2 selection) 7- Norman Reedus/Daryl Dixon (3 selections) 6 - Emily Bett Rickards/Felicity Smoak (5 selections) 6- Chandler Riggs/Carl Grimes (1 selection) 5- James Roday/Shawn Spencer (3 selections) 4- John Barrowman/Malcolm Merlyn (2 selections) 3- Stephen Amell/Oliver Queen (4 selections) 3- Christopher Gormham/Auggie Anderson (1 selection) 50 - Lost girl (9 selections) 8 - Once Upon A Time (4 selections) 7- The Walking Dead (6 selections) 6- Supernatural (11 selections) 4- Murdoch Mysteries (5 selections) 3- Orphan Black (2 selections) 3- Outlander (1 selection) 3- The 100 (1 selection) The largest vote total for a candidate in round 1 was - 4,996 for Dr. Lauren Lewis & Bo Dennis "Lost Girl" in Best Couple. The smallest vote total of a qualifier for the semi-finals was - 22 Greg Mottola "Run" (The Newsroom) in Best Director
