Hakeem Wins FairVote Ranked Poll!

(Update above: Screen shot AFTER polls closed!)

As of this writing, with less than 22 hours before polls open, Farheen Hakeem has won the FairVote Ranked Poll! This shows that when voters have a chance to rank their favorite candidate first, Hakeem emerges as the best candidate in the field. She had by far the most first-choice votes, with 38%, compared to 26% for Dayton and 24% for Horner.

This poll was never concluded and remains subject to change, so I have pasted the current results below. The formatting may be hard to read, but the numbers are there:
