Vote in the CharlotteFive Coffee Shop Bracket finals

I think the Mecklenburg Board of Elections should consult Rush Espresso about its get-out-the-vote strategy.

Once again, No. 8 Rush got the most votes of any coffee shop in the CharlotteFive Coffee Shop bracket and upset No. 4 Central Coffee, which actually would have beaten either of the two other coffee shops in the bracket. It’s all about the matchups.

I am truly impressed by Rush’s loyal customers, though.

The No. 3 The Daily Press also pulled an upset over No. 2 Smelly Cat.

The results:

– (8) Rush Espresso 52%, (4) Central Coffee 48%

– (3) The Daily Press 63%, (2) Smelly Cat 37%

The finals

This one’s for all the marbles coffee beans. The voting will be open until noon Sunday, and we’ll have a final story about the winner in Monday’s CharlotteFive. Share, tell your friends and campaign for your favorite coffee shop.

(Note: The “Vote” button can be a little hard to see on some screens, but it’s right above “View results.” Make sure to hit it so it’s counted!)
