I just logged in this morning to vote for Jack and it says "You voted for "Firecracker" litter." I believe there is a big problem with the way the votes are being counted. Unless I got up in the middle of the night and voted for the "Firecracker litter" while sleepwalking.
diggummup, the other month's contests that I have seen were won with a vote count of 450 to 550. I am thinking about emailing a letter of protest, regarding a violation of the contest rules by the Firecracker litter. They have a national presence through Leader Dogs for the Blind on Facebook that is being used to solicit votes nationwide (7,061 people like Leader Dogs for the Blind on Facebook). Sort of smells like dirty politics, doesn't it? Perhaps the rules were skirted by a private owner, Janice White (Firecracker litter), entering the contest, and then using her association with Leader Dogs for the Blind to remove any doubt about the outcome.
I agree, perhaps a second place prize is in order for the runner up. Better yet, perhaps all of the dogs should receive a second place prize, considering the competition included an affiliation with a national organization.
