Post URGENT - A&E Poll

To go along with their Porsche & Ferrari Biography shows, A&E has a poll going for which car you would most like to own: Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, or Mercedes-Benz. Porsche needs help! Go vote! And remember: vote early, and vote often.

So far, Ferrari is beating Porsche 63% to 22% but that's no fair.

The first Ferrari documentary certainly played a role.
let's wait till the end of the hour. hopefully this will be reversed.

Now it's 32% to 55%. You can just keep on hitting the submit button and each time it registers a vote.

You don't even have to wait for it to load. If you just keep hitting submit as rapidly as possible, all the clicks go through as votes. We are talking a couple hundred every minute if you have a fast finger.

And at about a total of 40040 I brought them even at 45%....

Ah hahahaha ah hahaha

I casted my 500 votes, still at 51% though.

I also noticed that Ferry's bio is 6th on the top 10 list.

Voted the Chicago way. Ferrari doesn't have a chance. I've got nothing to do 'til 5 if that's what it takes!!!

I do not get it.

The goal of a vote is to be objective in expressing the desire of the population.

What some of us are suggesting is to skew the results by repeatedly voting "until 5PM."

Then, the end result is not accurate and does not mean much to anybody. Nobody here on this board is going to abandon Porsche (I assume). So what if the vote results say differently?

Drive what you like, who cares what a poll says!

Hey, don't point the finger at me only. I was just jumping on the bandwagon because i'm from the Chicago area stuffed the ballot box as we're know to do around here. 'Anyway, 'til 5 was the non-local GMT, which was about another twenty minutes until I had to leave the office. Porsche deserves the win anyway. That's why the phrase 'German engineering' carries so much weight.

Biography dropped the ball when they set up the poll that way. Their poll is like leaving a 55 gallon drum of candy on the front porch for trick-or-treaters with a sign that says TAKE ONE. I didn't take the whole thing. I just grabbed more than one! See you in hell I guess.

Checked the poll after I posted. Somebody from Ferrari has lighting fingers. It was 51% P to 40 something % F when I tainted the pot. It's currently a wash. There's Ferrari-faithful stuffing going on!!!! So much for an inaccurate poll? If the P fans and the F fans both stuff to their hearts desires, it simply becomes a smorgasbord instead of an a-la-carte dinner.

Well I wanted to see how the race was going. The only way to update it is to vote. I just happened to look at it 500 times.

Currently Porsche 51% and F 43% with nearly 73,000 votes
votes seem to be cast at a rate of 2-3 per second...
