Well, around a thousand votes oughta put Charlie in first right now. :)
so can I get that "thousand votes at a time" program from someone?

For once, it's the hip thing to "Rock the Vote"
We didn't rock that vote boat.

Sorry Charlie

Charlie went from 10% to 5.6

Phuong-Cac went from .1 (last place) to .4

If someone knows of a ridiculous web election before it begins you should post it here, we could figure out who the underdog is going to be and then try to tilt the election to his/hers/its favor.

It'll be like an online team game, that involves no skill and little time.

I'd like to know what place Charlie would have finished in if the BYOAC community hadn't voted.

We fought hard, but you can't win 'em all!

I'ma gonna search for a voting script out there to see how fast we can raise someone and see how far they fall without that help.  Seems in this instance that Johnny held his cards close to the vest until the last moment.

thanks again everyone...

fwiw, I did try to rock the vote... but it was a little too late... (hint you can use anonymous proxy's to appear to be many different people in many different locations with different ip's)...  If i was a little smarter or cobbled together some sort of macro we coulda put 'em over the top...

but it is kinda amazing.. my math is shot, but I think we racked up like 800 votes (give or take)...

thanks again guys...
