Actually, most of the time it's easy to vote more than once. Find and delete the cookie the site puts in your browser history and go again and again and...............

A programmer can easily write a little routine to do this.

A lot of polls are hijacked this way, which is why you never believe any polls or statistics on the net.

One programmer here in Oz wrote a routine to vote once against a previous vote, so the result would always come out 50/50. He used this on a major newpaper's polls, and even told them about it, but they continued to report 50/50 results for weeks afterwards! :-)

[DougGuy]

Dang 8177 to 8174! :)

Voting has maxed out the server! LOL

[buckwheatpaul]

DougGuy ... voted....good luck

[lylejb]

tried to vote "service temporarily unavailable" error message.

good luck to the young lady anyway.

edit: was able to vote with IE, but not firefox??

WooHoo up by 12 votes!!

[Blammer]

so the babe in the boat with the fish is winning?

[HeavyMetal]

went got a lot of no service stuff, then got on voted but not sure it stuck.

Hope for the best here.

[DougGuy]

No the professional photographer who took the dog pic is ahead. Try back the server is getting hit a lot right now..

[DeanWinchester]

I'm showing she's ahead by 17.

[DougGuy]

I think she won!

October (43%, 8,205 Votes)
January (43%, 8,188 Votes)

[DougGuy]

Thanks to all who voted, I think we helped her pull it off! According to Cabela's count, she won by 17 votes!

October (43%, 8,205 Votes)
January (43%, 8,188 Votes)

[HeavyMetal]

looks like my vote got through, I now see stat's on the voting and yes October is ahead slightly.

Any idea if this 8 PM deadline is central or pacific time? If it's central she's won if not then we need to keep voting!

[williamwaco]

Come on guys we are leading by only 12 votes. We need more votes.

[cbrick]

Must be over, vote hasn't changed in 15 minutes. Seems there were enough CastBoolits votes to put her over the top. :drinks:

Rick

[TheCelt]

yahoo!!

[DougGuy]

Yeah it looks like we did it! The welders and pipefitters FB page (60,000 strong) helped and this site has 30,000?

[RED333]

I just saw this, congrats to her.

[lylejb]

Doug,

Is this young lady a friend / family of yours?

[DougGuy]

No, I don't know them. I saw her mother had posted on one of the Ruger forums and thought it would be nice to rally up and see if we could help her win. THANKS guys!

[SciFiJim]

She won by 17 votes! Sure hope she has great luck on the hunt.

[TheDoctor]

Shows the importance of voting. Got my old lady and my kiddos to vote, plus lit up their facebook pages. I know there are people here who gathered many more votes than that, and look how close it was. Use this for an example when someone spouts off that their vote wont count for anything. Hope that little girl has a hunt that she can tell her grand kids about!

[jonp]

Glad she won. A professional photog with a dog pic? Seriously

[oldred]

A professional photog with a dog pic? Seriously


That's what I thought too, it shouldn't have even been a contest! Without a doubt there was a heavily organized effort behind that dog pic.

[pworley1]

Congratulations. I am glad our votes made a difference.
