While Elmo hates math, The Count loves a good story problem!

The Count would love to find the Sesame Street Number of the Day!

Would you help?

That’s one. One vote. There’s two. Two votes. And three. Three votes…

Ah ah ah ah!

The Count only sees 758 votes for the defendant. How could that be?

• Terri Hargrove, 874 votes!
• Byard, 1,000,000 votes! A million votes, ha ha ha ha! Oh, Silly Count! The Count is kidding. Byard only received 841 votes in total.
• Steve Workman, 810 votes!
• Ernie Campbell is off the Board with his 687 votes. Bye, Ernie. We love the part where you stood up for Bill Fisher and called the Sham Code of Conduct Hearing bullshit, but it was a little too late.

Now for The Count’s story problem.

The Count would like you to know that defendant cast 83 votes for himself because of the lots he owns. To be sure, it is legal, no dispute about that.

However, when we subtract those 83 votes from the 841 total, that means the defendant only received 758 votes from others.

So what is the Sesame Street Number of the Day? 758. 758 votes. Ah ah ah ah!

Without casting his own votes which brought the defendant’s total up, two other candidates who did not control the airwaves by booting all dissenters {and even some innocent bystanders} off the Members Forum and Today pages on Facebook received more votes.

I hear there’s an olive branch being offered by the defendant. Honestly, conciliatory rhetoric is probably a good move after reading the tea leaves.

We’re all thinking about the olive branch, defendant. And we promise to get back to you on that.
