Best article competition - view results?
-
Hi there, Recently my article was nominated for Best Web Dev Article of January 2016. When I last logged in on Thursday 18th, I was winning by 10 votes or so. When I woke up on Friday 19th, the competition appeared to be closed (could no longer access the voting page.) I notice that not only did I not win, but I didn't come second either. Neither of the top two articles in the results list made it to second. Is there a way to view the total vote count after the competition has closed, so I can see what happened? Don't get me wrong, this isn't about being a sore loser. If another article won the competition then fair enough, I'd just like to know how the votes were finalised which determined another article, which was behind by around 10-20 votes, managed to accumulate so many in the space of a few hours I was asleep. Thanks

If you go to the Survey list[^] and choose "General" as survey type, you can see a list of all past and ongoing article competition surveys. When I look at Survey Results - Best Web Dev Article of January 2016[^], it does show that your article is listed first there, but as the disclaimer says:
