Hello, It's always been a popularity contest/subscriber drive and everyone would have the same fair shake in regards to getting family and friends to vote... so long as everyone has an equal vote. Me living in a town where we only have 18 kids in the local school from K-12 actually puts me at a disadvantage in these regards. But I really still do like the idea of requiring a credit card to vote and donating the money do a worthy charity. That would keep the fraudulent voting to a minimum. Either way we've seen about 1000 votes for the CFDJ voting and it doesn't go up that much each day, I truly don't think it would be an enormous task to keep the voting semi-square.
