If you were running the Frank voting script, refresh it. I missed editing one spot to vote for frank. 😛

It's working great now. The vote is moving well.

Yep, it looks like it's time to back off and push up another dog to 2nd. The fisherman are getting suspicious:

Well I just voted again and now we are down by 35,199 votes.
I am struggling with how that is possible if both sides are playing fair. I only hope that if there is a computer doing the voting for those folks in Alabama that the owner of Lucy is very proud and holds their head up high in knowing that they had to cheat in order to beat a lowly little dog from North Dakota.

P.S. In the time it has taken me to type this we are now down by 36,298 votes, please tell me they aint cheating!!

Someone should let them know that the article appeared in the Mobile paper/news today (didn't it?). That way they won't be too suspicious. 😛
 
Yes it did... I've got my copy sitting on my desk right now. 🙂

If you do register to post over tehre, just use a diff't screen name or something. I think that's how they found VN was people who used the same screen name and posted over there.

Isn't the Chem_Eng guy one of us?
 
He's actually from over on VN. But someone over there claims to have posted about the paper and what not this morning, so hopefully that post will show up shortly.
 
I'm at work until 4:30PM and I have all 4 of my computers at home running to vote for Lucy every 10 seconds. I will switch them over to vote for Frankie when I get home.

Lucy is still averaging about 2 votes per second. WOW!!

 
If it weren't for their "poor us -- the rest of America is evil and North Dakota is great" mentality, I might feel bad. They started the voting rush (hundreds of people voting multiple times); it just took us to properly finish it.

It made it, but don't think they believe it.
 
It's CrackerJacks' fault.. they need a better voting system. Hopefully they will learn something from all of this. 🙂

What a bunch of whiners. They really don't have a clue as to where the real surge is coming from. ATOT owns that little IGN site.

Plus, it's not cheating if the cackerjack site allows it. Man, I can't wait till Frankie takes 2nd. Their responses will really become outrageous.

Vote for Frankie
 
Is there a way to give frankie and little extra push, he is WAY behind. Can we make it refresh every 5 second or so? I'm not sure if he will be able to take 2nd.

We have 4 or 5 days. Lots of people still haven't switched over all of their computers yet. When that happens, Frankie will jump up as fast as Lucy.

how can we be sure JJ doesnt pass lucy while we vote on frankie?

We are going to keep an eye on the results and swith back to Lucy if JJ gets close. I think with the Newpaper article about Lucy and they are already enough people here and on the IGN site voting for lucy JJ won't get close either way.

Agreed. The folks at IGN can hold the lead for a while. JJ has to overcome 45,000 votes to hit 1st. Plus, they have no chance if we switch back and pull another 30,000 all nighter.

Frankie has broke 7000 and is on his way to 3rd place. Keep up the good work!
