Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 17, 2024, 1:16 a.m.

Overall Rationale: I intended to start my computer poll this week, but it spat out completely nonsensical results because the SoS component was too powerful (Florida Atlantic at #1 and USC/Oregon/Georgia in the triple digits), so here's an emergency human filler ballot.
