This being an election based in Chicago, the adage "Vote Early, Vote Often" certainly applied in some of the challenges. The folks at the Chicago Tribune's "Red Eye" know that there are support factions for certain characters out there, specifically for Veronica Mars.

Apparently there was momentum behind Dwight Schrute as well, since he wiped the floor with Celia Hodes. But those fans of 'The Office' couldn't help Michael Scott in his battle against the late Starbuck.

That's another great election story - losing to a dead TV character!

But the folks at "Red Eye" support such tactics and hope to see it lead to an even bigger response as they move on to the next round.

Here's another great election result that came out this - Sawyer beat Barney by one vote! So your vote really does make a difference!

Here are the match-ups for Round Two:

Sweet Sixteen match-ups

1. Jack Bauer, “24” vs. Adrian Monk, “Monk”

2. Sawyer Ford, “Lost” vs. Hiro Nakamura, “Heroes”
