Too bad we didn't discover this earlier! My son just noticed that if you double click on the vote button, it seems to record 2 votes. Maybe that's how the Top 10 got the votes they have!

The good news is I estimate we are well within the top 141. We'll know for sure tomorrow.

MM,

I hope she makes into the the top 141. I just voted for the last time (voted from home earlier today) and then I read your post about double clicking on the vote button. DARN!!!

I'm sure you'll let us know either way.

The 1st/2nd place are averaging about a vote per second. To me that sounds very fishy and I hate to say it but they are probably gaming the IP scheme through various methods.

Either way I've been voting Carolyn and I really hope she has the opportunity to attend!

The list is up! We finished as #27. Looks like we are going to Kentucky!

Words cannot express how grateful we are to everyone who helped make this possible, a large number being members of this forum.

I can assure you that there will be pictures and other posts about our experience.

Once again, thank you so much!

I have to admit I was really concerned about where Lyn would finish. The front runners were clearly way out there and we saw the #10 position change hands nearly every day during the last week. That just shows how close the lower finishers were in votes. However, Lyn made it in grand style. Congratulations Lyn and have a fantastic time at the festivities.
