As of right now (5pm MST), the Dalai Lama has received 73% YES votes and 27% NO. I didn\u2019t check all 158 people nominated, but after clicking a few yes\u2019s and no\u2019s he stood out as a clear leader (nice sidenote, another favorite person of mine, transgender activist Laverne Cox, is also polling well above average at 59% YES, 41% NO).<\/p>\n
