I don't think they've finalized them yet: "(Note these results are not official until after the poll closes and ballot-stuffing, anti-fraud software has been run)"

I don't expect the results to change too much; I doubt that many people are dumb enough to try to cheat on this. Any idea when the final results will be posted?

I believe that it will be February before we have the final standings although the results should be close - there may be duplicate emails and there are ties that can change these numbers.

But it is very exciting to see your approximate standings (Woo-Hoo!) - congrats to everyone here.
