Question Car Of The Year Votes Valid??

Does anyone else find it a little odd that November is winning by a landslide of 141 votes, yet all other votes are comparatively very low? Even George Samuals 20B car (January) only has 11 votes. Soul Assassin's car (Sept) has 6 votes.

I just find this very odd.

haha.. this contest is about who has the biggest MSN list to send the link too... or the most IP's in there school computer lab LOL

I haven't even looked for 1-2 weeks till now. and nobody has even voted in 2 weeks.. it was that high before. but now I know why. hell it just took me 10 mins to find the poll and I already knew it was there! he took the link off his page. and his new forum page is way to complicated...

That 141 is interesting. Scott's probably on the money with the school IPs. Could be dialup, but I doubt anyone would be that persistant.

I'm surprised at the real numbers as well. I'm also surprised 6 people would vote for the traitor.

The funny thing is that I have remote control of about a thousand customer computers with different IP all accross the country. It would be VERY easy to use remote management to send a script to each one that would vote on my behalf....But I'm not that kind of person.

Still, 141 is a huge number of votes, even for someone with a "large following".

Really? What's better about it? It was pretty average amoung that crowd if you ask me.

i've met Gladwyn though...he's an older guy...prob late 40's...maybe even 50's. seemed like he was a guy who would use his computer for e-mail...and thats about it, lol

I'm not saying that he is cheating, but it sure looks like someone that has something to do with him is. It's just an enormous margin...Too much of a margin to be created naturally.
