What's this for, BTW?

I would have told you if you voted for my cousin :)

high school football awards

The problem I have has already been mentioned; I don't like ballot box stuffers and I always vote against them.

Why not just mention what the poll is for, mention why your friend/relative deserves our vote over the other candidates, and point us to the poll?

I think it's insulting when you hold our hand, give us a link and tell us exactly what to do.

Well if that is how you feel, I can't stop you. I am just asking for your help. He is my cousin, I would like it if he won.

If it helps, here is the description the site gives:

One of the NNJIL's most underrated two-way performers, the senior linebacker paces the Spartans with 97 tackles and eight sacks. He's been a hard-nosed competitor and a leader in the locker room for two seasons.

I don't understand why cheating to get the results you want makes this mean anything at all.

Is it any different than buying girl scout cookies or candy from the kid standing outside the supermarket that will win a prize for selling the most?

I think you make a good point... but I don't understand the voting for someone else, instead of just not voting. Is it just for spite?
