Even Madder Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 At 1:47, I voted for Ramsey -- he was up 53 to 47. At 1:48, I voted for him and he was down 53-47. Something stinks! Is Fox Sports rigging the results after everyone's in bed???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr11fan Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Either that or someone is using one of those things that they talked about on the saints board. Someone e-mail the e-mail address on the site, I was there and it jumped from 58-42 to 47-53 in a matter of a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstahl Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 WTF, I saw it too, 10 point swing in a minute or so. That is so BS. Unless they periodically remove duplicate votes (or do not show all results consistently (like accumulate a bunch of votes then show them later). Still seems like BS to me.

pr11fan Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Has anyone considered the fact it may not be fox but in fact a ravens fan. Remember some Saints fans were looking for a program to cheat the poll, who's to say one of the ravens fans didn't find one or create their own. It's too much of a coincidence that this happens first against Roy and now Ramsey. :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I doubt it. It's more logical that Fox would rig it. If a fan WAS going to go that far out of his way to make sure Lewis won, he would have done it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Madder Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 If there were 150,000 votes cast, which is pretty likely, then you'd need about 18,000 votes to swing it from 53-47 Ramsey to 53-47 Lewis. Not possible. It happened in less than a minute. I was voting at the time, and at 1:47 it was 53-47 Ramsey, and the very next vote it was 53-47 Lewis. That many votes in less than a minute would probably overwhelm their server (or, more likely, they just wouldn't get in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Someone has either hacked into the contest and changed the numbers or FOX is rigging the vote there is NO WAY you drop that far that fast this late in the contest. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Madder Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 Why would a fan log all those votes at one time? If you can stuff the ballot, you'd do it a few thousand at a time, not all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Ray Lewis also won in this fashion in the last round against Williams. He was down 53-47 or something, then in the last hour or so he suddenly jumped ahead and won. Bull-freaking-****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can stuff the ballot, you'd do it a few thousand at a time, not all at once. this isn't a ballot stuffing situation, someone has altered the numbers. Ramsey dropped over 10% in less than 15 minutes!!!!!, with the number of votes in this late in the vote, that is almost impossible to do :cuss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 It's a 4 point margin with 20 minutes to go. Everyone put in final votes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 How in the hell is it not changing at all now? It's going to end 52-48 for Lewis This was a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 It's not changing because there have got to be over 150,000 total votes by now, and we're not voting enough to even move the percentages either way. That's why this whole thing is so screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
