Okay! I've finally tabulated the votes, which ended Friday around noon (I gathered them a few hours later). I wrote a Perl script to help with the tabulation, and then wanted a script to help determine whether everyone qualified (only one account did not!), but the Perl module I had found, I couldn't get to work. Nor, was the Python stuff working today either (using Steem nodes seems like a futile game of whack-a-mole, where no moles pop up!).
So, I did the final portion by hand. Some interesting statistics: the top-voted account was @onos, with 51 votes. The "smallest" winning account was @kitllanes, with 15 followers and no STEEM (so, a "score" of 150). The only account which was a winner, but was too big was @eurogee, with 1,641 followers -- and, since it was such a large number, I didn't do the investigation I had in mind for "close" accounts, which was to see whether the account might have qualified last week while the contest was underway.
In addition, there were strings of the same number of votes for several people. The first ten (apart from #5 and #6 which were the same) were all different numbers. Then, the next 14 had 10 votes; the next 23 had 9 votes; and the next 7 had 8 votes. That went across the "#50 boundary" so I needed to decide what to do. Additionally, @eurogee was a member of this group, so rather than having 4 that were higher than 50, there were only 3.
I could have figured out some algorithm, like perhaps "smallest accounts win"; or, spend time studying the posts from each account, etc.
But instead? I'm just giving those three accounts slots as well! :)
Here are the 53 winners, and their votes:

It would be great if SteemVoter.com would take a CSV as input! I just spent ten minutes or so manually adding the rules.
Then I checked steemnow.com and verified that I currently have 100% Voting Power.
Finally, I clicked "Play" at SteemVoter.com (I had previously clicked "Pause") and we're off and voting!!!
Here's hoping that by the time I do the next contest, most of you won't qualify! :D
Thanks everyone for participating, I will do this again.
Enjoy!
Please read the email from me. Please confirm via email. thx!
Done. Sorry I couldn't be of much help but, as I said in the email, if you can point out specifics I will gladly try.
hi @libertyteeth can you share the perl script , i want to know how you get Steem Power
i tried to make a script in vbscript
Thanks for the request! I will make a separate post about it.
Thank you :)
Oh! Just read your comment again; I am unable to get SP from Perl, I need Python for that.
However! Check out these two posts by @hoffmann, he's working on a Perl way to access the STEEM blockchain!

@libertyteeth I tried to use this to help me
for example if you want to get number of followers :
https://api.steem.place/getFollowersCount/?a=libertyteeth
if you want to get total posts ( post & comments )
https://api.steem.place/getPostCount/?a=libertyteeth
source : https://steemit.com/technology/@moisesmcardona/steemplace-api
but i didn't find how you can know how much you SP you have ^^
i find many posts how you can get others information
but ididn't find any one talking about how to get SP
thank you my friend :)
That's actually quite helpful, thanks! Didn't know about api.steem.place, good to have another place to get data from if the one I'm using disappears (permanently, or temporarily).
yes I find Many website like api.steem.place just search about steemit api posts you will find many tools can help you build things easly , i was thinking to make a little program , alert me when my favourits steemians post something , because the feed at steemit it's not useful if you follow many people u will missed many posts ^^ , so i can check number of posts for example :
https://api.steem.place/getPostCount/?a=libertyteeth
if posts number increase Then new post is posted & alert me :)
That right there is awesome! My solution is a lot more complex, I really like this!
Post completed, here you go!

You are a true and real whale, a whale that work with honour, showing and leading with example. I must say you are a definition of humanism with a large hearth of prosperity.
My prayer for you is to remain blessed always.
Thank you, that means a lot!
Money must flow, don't keep it locked up. It has an energy to it.
please check your discord, i left some message you might find helpful.
Done, thanks!
Good work boss!

Wow! This guy is exceptionally wonderful 😀, that’s a lot of job man, thanks for the time you’re giving just to carry friends along in this wonderful world of steemit,
Good post, good contest, good contestants, good results.

Congratulations to all winners including me. Yes we pray we won't qualify when you do the next contest, because it is a sign of progress if we don't qualify.

Thank you for helping out the minnow community. Atleast we know that someone out there like you cares about us. Hopefully we will be out of the minnow definition soon.
Hopefully! Heh, I'm considering adding a rule, "You can't have won more than once in the past. If you're still a minnow, you're not working hard enough!" :)
Take care!
That sounds really good haha. I will be out of the minnow deifinition even without the new rule. 😀😊
thank you so much sire, for this, congratulations to all winners plus my self,
remember with great powers comes great responsibilities. bless you sire.
You're welcome!
And thanks for that quote -- most people might have heard it from Spider-man, his Uncle Ben said it. However, it was initially said by Voltaire.
Then I looked up my assertion, to ensure it was accurate, and perhaps it isn't:
https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/07/23/great-power/
smile, yea i heard that first from uncle ben, and it had stick to my head since 2004, and later from French qoutes, i read some books stating voltaire made the statement but they has been a lot of speculations about that statement as they couldn't trace the real source i guess i would try check the link you sent here to see who the qoute came from, and thanks once more
