Hi all! I've looked over all of the voting modules and I don't think any of them have the function that I need. Please lead me in the right direction if one of them does and I'm just too goofy to figure it out. This is what I need:

I'll have a writing contest and want users to vote for their favorite. The vote radio button will be at the bottom of each writing submission. However, I don't want five star voting as I would like each vote to count towards the category total and not the node total. So I can have a "Submission 1 has 30% of the vote, submission 2 has 40% of the vote" and so on and so forth with different categories for fiction, non-fiction, etc..

Thanks in advance for any point in the right direction!!

what you describe reads more like you want a poll?

I guess a poll may work and just call it a vote? With polls, though, would I be able to place the different "poll choices" on different pages and wouldn't I have to have a poll title? So with a submitted entry, at the bottom I could have a "vote for this submission" radio button or check box with registered users only getting one vote to use and upgraded users to get additional votes? I don't necessarily need the results to show on the site....just for my records.

I suppose I meant poll like. I don't have specifics for how you will pull this idea off. There is the adv_poll.module that I've never tested that you may want to investigate but I haven't a clue on how you will separate choices based on a single node then recompute those choices as a percentage based on a specific set of content. What you very well may need is s custom.module written that allows this type of feature.
