It's no "6th Fan", but....

You can start voting now. One vote per day per method (vote on site, tweet, text).
Site is here: https://stanleysaferschools.com/Vote
(site seems to be a little slow at times, right now, just fyi)
Text wiuedu to 334455
Tweet the following: #STANLEYSecurity #wiuedu
Or you can retweet either my or the university's tweets:
[tweet]557211194147495936[/tweet]
I set up a reminder on my calendar to send me a text every morning at 9 AM until 2/13 to Vote, tweet, and text.
Looks like verification is a bit better than the 6th fan contest was (no running automated scripts to vote thousands of times), and requires only a couple of minutes every day to vote.

Gonna need a lot of support to build a big lead. You know how it goes as everyone lets up towards the end it seems and if a few schools do not know the first few days it can help WIU win!
According to site you can vote once per day per email, this means if you have a personal and work email you can vote twice and you can vote by texting and twitter. There is at least 3 votes per person each day and could be more if you have multiple emails.

I will continue to vote 3 times per day but not crazy about putting time into something with no scoreboard. I could easily vote 100 more times a day since I have a web site with that many email accounts attached to it. Sorry folks, I am not doing that unless I know for sure we need the 110% effort.
Embrace the pace of the race.
Were still in 1st keep up the voting, $150,000 in security system updates could go a long way at WIU!!! Remember Twitter, Text, and use website to vote!

That's all I'm doing....my 3 votes per day. I'm not dealing with automated scripts, multiple email accounts, etc. Not after the whole 6th fan thing.sealhall74 wrote:I will continue to vote 3 times per day but not crazy about putting time into something with no scoreboard.
