The easiest way to do this is to open it up in a tab or something, fill out the ballot, hit back, hit F5, and then re-enter the security word and keep going with it. You should also mix up which Western conference dmen you vote for, and try not to vote for Lidstrom, Niedermayer, or Pronger - they'll have enough votes and only 2 dmen can make it in. Some popular choices to vote for are Liles, Hannan, and Ohlund, but we really need to mix it up.

Does simply hitting backspace and then submit again not work?

This will probably work, but we should have a prototype letter to send out.Something along the line of:

The fan-voting on the all-star games is a joke. We are organizing a campaign around voting in Rory Fitzpatrick as a write-in. Visit https://www.voteforrory.com for further details. Together we can make it happen.

I don't know, that's just a scratch.

13000 is a whole lot of votes. It's more than possible that Rory isn't there yet.

I think that that's somewhat unlikely, especially considering voteforrory.com is almost at 20 000 hits now. There's also the fact that apparently no write-in forward managed to garner more than Nikolai Zherdev, when in the Eastern conference there were three write-ins who had more than he did.

Telephones run on a separate power grid, the central offices are all powered so that 911 service operates in times of emergency.

That's why voip was/is taking so long to become viable, there was this whole issue of making people's phones work when some retard plows into a transformer box.

So since he uses no electricity, he doesn't get a phone.

Maybe someone at Vs. screwed up, but even if they're still #1 and #2 when they release the totals for this week, Rory still probably made plenty of headway.

Well a 170 000 gap wasn't something that we expected to be able to bridge in five days. I have the feeling that peaking too early could absolutely kill this anyways, as we probably get alot more support in the chase.

Well. By the end of the day Rory should be passed Phaneuf and Pronger, but at this pace he may not be able to catch up with Scott Hannan's completely legit votes.

A good measure, still, is that he picked up good ground on Lidstrom and Niedermeyer.

Sharks are everywhere. They have three of the top four forwards, and Thornton has a 140 000 over Sakic. Toskala has come out of nowhere to sit as a write-in for goalies.
