The unofficial count was about Port Alberni 248,093 and Nestor Falls 229,805, a difference of 18,288.

Let's not stir up any unsubstantiated claims of fraud or conspiracy.  WFN will check the voting and any invalid votes will be tossed.

[DragonSpeed]

Not stirring... just valid concerns and knowing how much it would suck if my fear came through.

[funpig]

There is no proof of fraud.  This is a little town of 500 that had volunteers staying up all through the night voting blocks of email addresses.  I did not like that but it was within the rules.  I doubt they would have the energy or time to also vote bogus email addresses for Port Alberni at the same time in some machivellian move to lull us into a false sense of security.

If anything, my concern is the use of multiple email addresses for the same person.  Some have interpreted the rules to allow any legitimate email address to vote.  But the rules also state that a person can only vote once every 12 hours.  I expect there will be some clawback of votes from both sides.  However, our final lead was pretty big so I would expect that we should still come out on top.

[Fish Assassin]

I guess we could turf the theory of them having a reserve blocks of emails for the final drive.

Just back in from The Briney to discover we lead by more than 18K votes at the end! Way COOL! 

Could not have done this without the dedicated support of many here! So on behalf of everyone here, I want to offer up our most sincere BIG TIME THANKS!!! 

While we await the Final Answer from Those Who Judge, a major Victory celebration is in the planning. Methinks this will prove to be one hell of a LOT of FUN, and something many might want to consider partaking in! Of course, all from here are most Welcome! Stay Tuned, more to come on that I am certain!! 

Way to go BC! Fan-effing-Tastic!! 

Cheers & my most Humble and Sincere THANKS! 
Matt
