It is 2 PM September 29 and the vote is PA 220,500 and Nestor 209,500, a difference of 11,000.  There is 24 hours left and each of us can still vote up to 2 times before tomorrows deadline:  Thursday, September 30, 2:00 PM PACIFIC.

Do not let up.  Nestor Falls is appealing to all of Ontario to back them:  http://fftimes.com/node/237084 .  So there is going to be a big push by Nestor Falls.

We will win if:

1.  Each of us votes the existing legitimate email addresses two more times over the next 24 hours before 2 PM tomorrow;   AND

2.  Each of us goes out and gets a couple of new legitimate voters to vote. (I estimate that there is about 10,000 of us.  If each of us gets 2 new voters, that will be another 20,000 votes.  (It will be much easier if each of us contributes instead of relying on a handful of volunteers. )

Keep an eye on the vote in the last 6 hours.  That is going to be critical.  We may need to scramble for some last minute legitimate votes.  It is going to be an exciting finish.

Last night I got home form work around 12:30, I went on WFN to punch my vote in and noticed from the time I typed in my vote, the vote had risen by 10. This was almost 1am and I watched the votes for the next 2 minutes and the vote had jumped by 100 for PA. What the hell?

In the last couple of days, we have been averaging almost 24,000 votes, which is about 1,000 votes per hour or 17 votes per minute.  But not all of our votes are evenly distributed, we all need to work and sleep).  From my observation, our biggest push of voters is usually between 10 and 2, in the morning and at night.  You are just one of four or five thousand who vote at that time.  Thanks for voting.  Also, I think people are realizing how important it is to vote twice per day (every 12 hours) and getting your vote in before 2 AM/PM each day leading up to the final deadline which is 2 PM Pacific tomorrow.

There is still time to get 2 votes in for Port Alberni before the finish. Vote today, now (before 2 am PDT tonight ) and again 12 hours later  (before 2 pm tomorrow afternoon). http://www.wfn.tv/ultimate-fishing-town/vote/

Well I just did my final 2 votes( 2 e-mails) as I am heading out of town fishing. Good luck on the final day. I sure hope we keep it in BC.

Port Alberni is ahead by 13,000 votes as of 11 PM. Keep it up guys. No time to slack now

This is the last midnight report before the final 14 hours of the voting.  As at midnight, Port Alberni is at 232,180 and Nestor Falls is at 218,000, a difference of 14,180. 

To anybody that can still vote their second to last vote in the next two hours, we all thank you for putting in the late hours.  Every bit helps.

After 2 AM, there will be exactly 12 hours left and only one last chance to vote.  Vote as soon as you can because if there is a big rush in the last day, the server could crash again.   THE FINAL DEADLINE IS 2:00 PM PACIFIC THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30.  If all of us vote, my current projection for Port Alberni is about 245,000 votes at the end.

Keep an eye on the tally as we approach 2 pm.  If the competition can rally some other towns (eg by radio or tv), there is still a chance for them to catch us. 

Be prepared in case we need to scramble for some last minute new legitimate votes to put us over the top.

It does look good at this point, but get your last votes in.  Three hours to go.

Let's win this thing fair and square and with a bit of class.  I have to tip my hat off to Nestor Falls for their effort.

My big concern is that someone has hacked in a bunch of fraudulent votes for PA and that the surplus is actually a deficit when they are all tallied and it's all said and done.  This would be a tactical play on the part of a non-ethical supporter of the folks at Nestor Falls.   

People supporting PA see that the town is so far in the lead that they think they don't need to vote while quite the opposite may be true!

We need to make sure all you legit voters get your votes in!

Anybody know how far Port Alberni was ahead at 2:00 PM?

[Steelie1030]

By last count it was about 18,400

Anybody know how far Port Alberni was ahead at 2:00 PM?

We were about 13K ahead (I think) back at 1:30pm.

I'm concerned about fraud.
