Hey...thanks for the vote. 

There's a glaring omission of a key category: Most effective in keeping Bitcoin unencumbered by the State.

Could you please tell me how would to go about with the voting process? (So if I'd like to vote for someone how can I do that?)

Any help would be highly appreciated... Thanks
