yup- there are a group of people that do send out newsletters and flyers at schools to spam OFF SITE for votes. we know this is true cause a few have admited it! when one person gets 10 or 12 votes for 2 week and is in first,second or 3rd place--then in one day a (lesser) picture gets 80 votes in one day- and the dns addys show everyone of them signed up that day- well- makes ya totally stop entering ANY contest!!!
