they must've voided all the votes he had when they added the statement "To ensure fairness, our system will only allow you to vote once every 6 hours" to the page.

Is there a mathematician in the crowd? If a hundred of us voted, how many more votes does it take for one person out of 10 to have a 4.2 %advantage over Ron? Error or votes voided is my guess. he's second lowest in the polls at the moment.

Most contests are rigged so Ron may not win.I entered this contest in 2008 and took 2nd place.I clearly was the winner putting a cable rail on a light house.When I talked to the company they told me the winner owned a store that sold the cable.So theres there hidden motive everywhere. http://media.feeneyinc.com/gallery/photo-contest-winners/designrail9?188=jul-2008

before I voted the first time I checked everywhere on their site to see if there was any limits. There were none so how can you change a voting method halfway thru the process.

I think they are resetting the votes every so often to make it look close, but keeping an overall tally running that we can't see.

Something weird is going on with the percentage of votes. Ron had over 78% of the votes, now only 0.7% overall. I voted again, you can vote again every 6 hours.

In all fairness, everyone really should have voted just once (I voted 3 times). But if everything was on the up and up, Ron still would have blown everyone away.
