I got some more info on the contest scores...
It turns out the winners had right around 400,000 votes and we scored in the high 300 thousands. There were right around a million votes cast for the contest.
From Weeze's old emails, it appears Portville was leading, then about a week ago they were overtaken, then they caught up, then they just waited a couple days too long to mount a strong enough comeback.
Weeze's boss was real pleased with the effort, but I'm sure he's as bummed as I am. That's tough to put up almost 400,000 votes and lose.
Regardless, everyone involved busted their ass to get it done. Portville won second place by a HUGE margin, so they should have a good chance in the second chance drawing.
