Something very odd going on.
When I voted, Ned had 46% of the votes and his nearest rivals had 22% and 20% respectively. There was a dramatic, and suspicious change virtually overnight.
Perhaps someone's posted a link similar to yours (but supporting a rival) on another site?
Members of this forum have a wide arrray of fine qualities, but ........... I've found over the years that I only get (about) a 10% response even when sending a batch of PMs/e-mails direct to members.
Some day I must work out how to do a block mail shot. At the moment, I type out every message individually - there must be an easier way!
