Something fishy with Pledge your Vote

[LoverOfLiberty]

I've been watching the Pledge Your Vote website at congress.org for the last week or so. This morning Kerry was still about 2,000 votes ahead of Bush. Suddenly this afternoon, Bush has added over 4,000 votes. The numbers for Bush continue to rise rapidly.

Is it possible someone has written a script to update those numbers? Anyone know how to contact the website to see what is going on?

4. Hold your horses, pardner!

The more votes on that site for bush*, the less our chances of having the election "postponed" because of a "terra-ist" attack. Vote now for bush*, vote later for Kerry!

5. It's been freeped

is the only explination I can think of. Ordinary voters probably aren't interested in politics enough to participate in this.

6. If its been freeped

it continues to be freeped, to the tune of about 200 votes per hour.

7. Yeah, sounds like they have a problem

I was watching it regularly for the past two weeks. Wisconsin was picking up about 4 votes a day on average. Now in three days its picked up 120 votes?

Either someone found a way to manipulate the pledges or a conservative site bigger than DU, CU and FR combined has discovered the site.
