busyI am reasonably sure that each and every person on that ballot wants to win. I am no different. But almost as much as I want to win, I want to know that if I lose, it will be because every possible voter looked at the works up for consideration, looked at their ballot, and made their choice fairly and well. I want you all to vote. I want to lose because I lost, not because there was a sale at Ben and Jerry's and we all got rightfully distracted because dude, ice cream.
Please. If you are eligible to vote, it has never been easier to get a clear view of the entire ballot. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Hugo committee, we have an electronic voting package that is a bibliophile's dream; you can read and consider absolutely everything that's asking for your vote. And if you're not a member yet, but were thinking about it, you can still register with full voting rights if you do it soon.
Make this year's Hugo winners the ones you think deserve those shiny rocket ships.
Vote.

(I'm not eligible to vote, and I think joining just to vote (for one book in one category) would be rather like buying the vote. I don't have time to read all of them, it's currently taking me well over a week per book because by the time I get to bed I read for a few minutes and then fall asleep so I think it wouldn't be fair. But good luck anyway!)
