Wow. I'd have used ATA also, but I wouldn't risk it on such a narrow margin, so I'd have to burn a JTQ also.

Ouch! No clue here, but I wouldn't trust a 2% margin. I figure that at least that many people voted for C because that was the only "Katie" instead "Cate" or "Kate".

That sounds like a good reason to go with the audience's second choice. There's a clear second choice with no apparent reason for a spike and an obvious reason for people who don't know the answer to guess at the audience's first choice. --Bob

That's pretty much the way I would have gone about it.
