Why do some questions remain in Tiebreaker status?

Yes I have noticed this. One of my last answers I had the majority of the votes, more than 50%, and yet it was in tie breaker status for about 2- 24 hour periods. It is not the first time I have had this happen.

In the now immortal words of Wikipedia...

[citation needed]

Are you sure there are not two votes for No Best Answer? What Percentage of the total vote does that answer have? If one answer has two votes and 50% and the other answer has no votes... that would mean that No Best answer got the other 50%.

end of line

Remain how long?

The software that evaluates votes runs at midnight, I THINK.

It is possible that it's just a bug.

Your best bet is to go to the Suggestions board, and see if anyone has asked this, and what staff have answered. If not, let them know about it.
