Vote here to elect four judges for Mt. Augusta! The thread will stay open and you can cast/change your vote until exactly 48 hours from the time of posting, at which point votes will be tallied and the winners announced. New candidates may announce themselves at any time, and I will do my best to promptly add them to the list.

So far we only have four candidates running, so if anyone else is thinking about throwing their hat into the ring, now's the time.
