...Didn't Desipio have Elinore for the person they were gonna vote for?

 

i'm sure they're giving each other reach-arounds in celebration as we speak

 

they don't deserve much credit though, as if anything, it's the 100,000 mouth-breathers at FARK.com who tipped the scales (assuming they even considered the votes)

All these changes happened after Vance's video showed up saying he stuffed the 2005 ASG ballot box. Coincidence I think not. :lol:

There's about zero doubt in my mind that the Vance movement inspired these changes. The spike in voter turnout on Vance's day was so clear even early in the day that mid-day on the 7th (when these changes took place, if I'm not mistaken) would have been plenty early enough to realize the problem and make a panic change toward a zero-transparence process.

 

There were enough of us stuffing Vance's box (giggety) of ballots and enough anti-nsbb types who were aware of the campaign that there was most likely a script running that day voting for someone else.

 

In all honesty, I hope this sparks a movement to take ASG voting out of the hands of the fans.

 

Those rules were in place from the beginning. Decision has nothing to do with Vance...he wasn't in the running.

Not true...had nothing to do with Vance nor Elinore.

Man, that really sucks. She got the vote because she's old and could probably die at any moment. As far as cub fandom goes, Vance has her beat by leaps and bounds. I'd be willing to bet she couldn't name more than a few current players. Just from my experience with old "diehard" cubs fans, thats the case. Oh well, it was a good shot, Vance.

Stupid Cobs. Can't win ballgames and screw up the voting system.

 

Sorry but don't you mean stupid Cub fans? You saw the number of votes on that date and compared to the first day, that made it stand out to be looked at more closely. The rule was put into place to prevent just what happened on the second day of voting...someone winning by cheating. And I am not referring to Vance nor Elinore but another contestant that day.

 

Vance, I think you should have won since you were the best one that day and it stinks that you didn't.

Cheating?? Are you kidding me? As if those other contestants didn't tell all their friends to vote for them? This is meant to be a voting system! Campaigning is part of the process.

Very true. Also, being that it's a Chicago team, vote early and vote often is also part of the process. I fail to see the issue.
