Please keep reminding us to vote.

Det 48% Oak 46% at the moment

It was 52% to 41% in Detroit's favor a few days ago until these "issues" arose. I'm calling BS on any massive fluxations that started yesterday, whether they say its figured out or not. Oakland is pretty close to Silicone Valley and the secrets behind any IT security protocol..

When does voting end?

I saved the page to my desktop so that I have an icon on the screen reminding me to vote as often as possible up until voting ends Feb. 9th...

They don't seem to be displaying the current results any longer.

**Vic01** · January-30-15, 07:06 AM

We get to see the results on Feb. 9th, until then vote, vote, vote

I just voted again today. They took the fun out of it, you have to "verify" your not a robot and they stopped showing the results. Sucks

I thought I was the only one that found "I am not a Robot" and now the verify script stuff offensive. I keep voting though.

The 'I am not a robot' is there to keep things fair. Otherwise, someone will write a program to stuff the ballot box. The big jump for Oakland shows that someone figured out a way to get around even that. I want a fair vote, so I wasn't offended. But if I were a robot, I'd be peeved...

Common protection measures are:

cookie: just clear browser cookies or start an anonymous session.
ip: connect from a different ip, by proxy or different internet provider.
timing: this is usually combined with ip or cookie. wait the time delay and you won't need to worry about the ip or cookie.
account: make multiple accounts, may need multiple emails. if you're lucky, you may be able to use gmail's plus addressing.
id number: get an id generator and be aware this is also ilegal.

Not to mention you can "donate" to websites that will vote for your specific entry in a contests. Heres one that will increase your vote count by 1500 votes for a $15 "donation... A penny per vote...

Thank you for reminders.

That scrambled script is driving me nuts. Did vote again but took three trys. Are they trying to make it hard for Detroit to vote. My bifocals are brand new and vision excellent. Serious hard to read that crap.

Thanks for the results, I emailed Scotts asking for results, but you were quicker. I voted as often as I could [[get away with on multiple computers), fantastic that we won...
