I just wanted to ask how the voting is being monitored for this contest. It seems like anyone can create multiple user names and log in repeatedly to cast more than one vote. I initially registered here as videolink after the finalists were announced. I waited and waited for my email confirmation which only came today. In the meantime, I thought that I would miss the voting deadline and that my registration request got lost so I reregistered using the name Louie where I posted above. I voted using Louie, but don't worry, I won't vote again, but what is to stop others from trying this. With my Internet provider, I'm given 7 email accounts. I'm not accusing anyone, just pointing out a possible flaw with the voting process. Also, I think it might have been better not to have allowed us to see the voting tallies until after the voting was closed. Knowing that someone is in the lead could affect how some people vote, as some wouldn't want to back a loser or a last place entry as they may see that as wasting a vote.
