Biased Briefing Vote Results
Once again you have front loaded the voting results by allowing voting directly from the list of most popular entries. The results being so biased against later entries that the resulting rankings are completely unreliable as an indicator of which topics are actually most important to participants much less to the American public. To achieve a more accurate vote, up or down voting on the lists should not be allowed.  Voting should be only on questions randomly selected from all entries, a minimum number of votes should be cast (perhaps 100) before an entry is placed on the most popular list, and rankings should be on the percentage of up/down votes. Hopefully you will be able to emplement changes such as these and produce a more representative picture of America's concerns. Other than that, what you've been doing is really super, thanks!
