I've tried several times today to vote for #53: The Millions: Her Story Next to His: Beloved and The Odyssey, but every time I click on the "click here to vote" link, I go to a page with no voting options.

[sittingnut]

i don't know whether this is allowed here or not but a sort of canvassing through retweets is going on in twitter to get votes for #25.
seriously doubt results of such actions will lead to a selection based on quality of the piece.
