This year’s Worst Company In America final death match between BP and Bank of America received the highest number of votes of any WCIA championship ever — it was also the closest final in the tournament’s history.

We’re not releasing the results until noon ET on Monday, but we can say that the company that will wear the Golden Poo crown for the next year is not doing so with a clear mandate from the people of this good country, winning with less than 51% of the vote.

Thus, before we even reveal the champ’s identity, we wanted to get some feedback from our beloved readers. Some comments have called for us to hand out a “silver poo” to this year’s runner-up. We’re open to considering that, but would love to know what other ideas you might have for handling such a close race.

Thanks once again to everyone who voted!
