Awesome thanks! Will keep an eye on their twitter.
You guys can vote more than once if you're using Chrome.
Open an incognito window ctrl+shift+n
Paste the URL ctrl+v
Vote
Close incognito window
Open a new incognito window ctrl+shift+n
Paste the URl again
Vote
Close incognito window
Repeat!
So going incognito and voting until your fingers fall off is OK but writing a program to do it is over the line?

How many votes do you think you could submit in a minute for a sustained period?
If you are fast and do not tire easily you could get about 8-10 votes a minute.
I doubt anyone has the fortitude or the attention span to do this for very long... I would be extremely surprised if someone could hit the 30 minute mark.

I did a little math. The numbers they were showing as being "spammed" entries were about 100,000. What I read said this happened overnight and the 'bots' were easy to spot because they averaged 10 entries a minute over an extended period of time. For the sake of argument, let's say overnight was 10 hours. It would take 17 programs running simultaneously and submitting 10 votes per minute, for 10 hours, to get those inflated numbers.
That isn't a small difference. That isn't even in the same ballpark as a human entering votes manually until they get bored. A human might net, at most, a few hundred votes (this would be the most driven individuals who had nothing to do except drool their school colors). To compare automation to manual entry is like saying you can win the Boston marathon because you drove a car. Hey, the runner and the driver are both humans right?
