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!
