Voter Fraud Afoot?

We know that the title "Best Alternative Media Outlet" is super important, but how important? Really? You draw your own conclusions, but check out these comments on the Wesleying blog, which, as of 5:00pm, is in second place:

Don't worry guys, we will win this poll. I can't let bastards I know from HS who go to now Mich-U or Columbia take this one. In fact I'll make sure that they don't...just wait, it's time to stick it to U.S. News & Report. Hell if they rig the rankings, it's okay for me to rig their little web poll.

Fishy? Maybe. Especially when considering around 250 votes were tallied for Wesleying in a 10-minute span in the wee hours of January 17. You think we haven't noticed? Honey, please.

I'd also like to take this moment to remind everyone that while this contest doesn't actually have a "prize," it also doesn't technically have "rules." But there is the law of the land, and we reserve the right to exact harsh punishment accordingly.
