Today’s the day! Vote American! Or whoever you want! The Science Museum of Virginia won the US and is in the world finals. Vote as many times as you can complete the captcha.
You’re doing pretty well right now, but I wonder how time zones affect the other entries.
Ukraine (currently 2nd place) has a solid entry as well, they even used special effects. I hope you can retain the top spot through overnight into the morning.
@Barney Yikes. And only saw this post after 11pm and I am falling asleep so will have to quit soon. Must be a lot of voters there since the population of that country is so small.
@Barney, @therealjrn, @djslack, @placidpenguin, @kidsandliz, and anyone else who voted, thanks so much but you can quit now- we’re down by 20,000 votes. I’ll pick up some bumper stickers or something at the museum store on Friday for you guys- whisper your address to me if you want one. You guys are the best!
@sammydog01 Thanks for the offer, but no prize is necessary for me either. You guys did a great job, sorry the kiwis are so prolific at voting while we sleep.
In the few seconds between my votes, it’s nice to see how much Virginia is rising.
@PlacidPenguin Thanks!
@sammydog01
I feel like a group tour for mehmbers would be required now.
When does the voting end?
@RiotDemon 8 AM tomorrow EST

@djslack My thought too. I refuse to stay up all night and push the button though.
@sammydog01 just put you over 20k
@djslack @sammydog01 Yeah, mehbe for 20,001 but I was there for 19,867, 19,884 and 19,765.
@djslack Woo hoo!
Bad news: My voting fingers are getting a little tired. Good news: I’m getting real good at both check marks and pictures.
@Barney Consider it fuko practice? Thanks!
@sammydog01
Still working at it. (I’ve got to get a life.)
Knock on wood, but I’ve only had check marks on Fukos.
@sammydog01
Ever since they started throwing me some more difficult captcha pictures, you’ve lost a percentage of the votes.
I’m a failure.
@sammydog01
Oh, Oh! I got pictures of boats. @CaptAmehrican would be so proud of me. I got them all right.
@sammydog01
I’m real good at store fronts. It must be the shopping gene I inherited from my mother.
@sammydog01
Noooo! Down another percentage. I’m working my fingers to the bone to increase the vote.
@Barney Yeah it is at 33% and about 40 votes added since I, you and likely a few others started rinse and repeat voting.
@Kidsandliz I’ve seen a couple of thousand votes since I started voting.
New Zealand is going to be the problem. It is only 4:30 in the afternoon there. They have gained the 2 percentage points that Virginia has lost.

@Kidsandliz Virginia is down another percentage. Looks like the East Coast has gone to bed. At this rate, their lead won’t hold until 8AM.
@Barney @Kidsandliz
Where’s the East Coast when you actually need them?
Although, Central US should take over…
@PlacidPenguin Central US is working on it, but it looks like a losing battle right now.
@Barney
At least the US is beating Canada.
@PlacidPenguin I Canada.
@Barney @PlacidPenguin Thanks for trying but people in New Zealand woke up. Oh well.
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 Yep, I knew this was going to happen. Sorry you didn’t win.
@Barney @sammydog01 good job
@CaptAmehrican @sammydog01
I may never play the piano again.
@Barney, @therealjrn, @djslack, @placidpenguin, @kidsandliz, and anyone else who voted, thanks so much but you can quit now- we’re down by 20,000 votes.

@sammydog01 No bumper sticker needed
@Kidsandliz @sammydog01 It was fun and I’m now a true master of captcha pictures. (I don’t need a bumper sticker either.)
@sammydog01
Thanks but no thanks. Beating Canada is prize enough.
And beating UK and Ukraine, is a nice dessert.
@sammydog01 Thanks for the offer, but no prize is necessary for me either. You guys did a great job, sorry the kiwis are so prolific at voting while we sleep.
@sammydog01 Oh, it was fun! No loser bumper sticker needed here either. Now if you can get me one from the winning team, I might consider it.
Final votes
