I honestly wonder if someone just wrote a script to continually vote for Merrill

Without an ability to see how many votes have been tallied it's very hard to

They have bots doing it. I'm not inclined to fight that battle.

That's my suspicion as well.

How do bots get past that stupid reCaptcha thing?

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

Just looked at it. I imagine it only took a few minutes to write the script

AFewThoughts

2/13/20 1:02pm

So.....can you write the bot script for us?

But will it allow you to post to the form endpoint from another domain?

It worked once...then I got this error

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

2/13/20 5:11pm

Yep. Because after submitting the form it takes you to a thank you page.

Bots and Scripts not allowed

Cougsanity

2/13/20 5:19pm

No idea. But the ReCaptcha that they have on that website is the simplest kind.

So nerdy. I hope Merrill wins just to upset everyone on here.

I'm kinda over fighting a bot battle. 6th man thing did me in. I've got PTSD now

After I spent a few minutes voting fast, only to see Yo lose .1%, I give up.

I have a 1 minute limit on spending time Jimmering BYU-related polls.

Bots will lead to DQ of candidates it's in the fine print

Cougsanity

2/13/20 5:18pm

Sam may get DQ'd. USU fans just want to beat Y fans.

2/13/20 5:21pm

I spent over an hour yesterday and saw us get up to 40% to 33%

This is not in the top 100 things I am concerned about

Sam is now sitting at 66.6%. Hmmm....seems fitting. 😉
