For the dozen years we've been picking the best of Broward and Palm Beach and slapping it into one issue, we've asked our readers to vote blindly for your favorite local stuff. Yes, we tallied it fairly, throwing out repeat ballots by the same people and even issuing the occasional recount. But as far as you, the reader, knew, we were counting them Miriam Oliphant style, as in, not at all.

So this year, the New Times Broward-Palm Beach Readers' Poll is wide open. You'll vote by posting a comment onto blog items. You'll openly debate, and hopefully, decide amongst yourselves to find the best of Broward and Palm Beach counties.
