User blog comment:EmpyrealInvective/Main Page Stories and You/@comment-25037895-20160130150336

This new system seems like it will be fine. Having two front page stories chosen by admins is a bit unneeded IMO. One story with nominations from the community and administrators seems fair to me. Perhaps a thread on the forum with and  comments would take everyone's opinion into consideration, but splitting the main page stories just seems too similar to be warranted. If administrators nominate and vote for the same story then that is by no means insurmountable odds (other admins could easily select something else), and any admin pick would be a good choice.
