Is there an automated way of voting again? I read the stuff on page 7, but it kind of lacks an explanation of what to do, or it's above my head.

Someone wanna clue in webmaster@kiplinger.com that they'll have to 1) close the poll 2) set up really, really good voting measures or 3) removed UNC from the list?

haha, i was wondering the same thing... when i looked last night, we were back up over 111,000. looks like they reset it again.

...and they banned my IP, apparently, as the vote count isn't going up.

i suppose if you went through tor it might help, but you're just gonna get a bunch of the pool banned

For now, I just set firefox not to accept cookies from their site, click vote, see the count go up, hit back, hit vote, rinse, repeat.

Are any of the automated voters working, until I get IP banned? I've got a few computers I can run it on remotely for a bit.

Hi, I'm the director of Kiplinger.com. On Jan. 6, we noticed that some enterprising prankster(s) (computer science majors?) were stuffing the ballot box with automatic revoting programs. So we restored the voting tallies to what they were on Jan. 5. To the ballot stuffers, come on, aren't there phone booths to stuff somewhere? (oh, that's right, there are no phone booths anymore.) But seriously, please let those who want to vote for their best value in public colleges have their say. There's nothing at stake here, other than an opportunity for people to express their views, share ideas, converse, argue, and cajole. To everyone, please vote to your heart's content (once a day, please). Got more to say? Enter a comment in the reader comment box about your favorite school. And thanks for visiting Kiplinger.com. We hope you benefit from our advice, as well as the advice of others. "

well, if they held them back due the posts being allegations of "cheating" then I respect kiplinger for doing so and at least investigating first then posting them

NC STATE is easily one of the best public schools in the nation and is also one of the top higher- learning institutions in the world. I went to UNC and NC STATE is a better school hands down. I terribly regret my college choice and will make sure my children attend NC STATE."

"NCSU is a good value and is typically recognized for being more than a favorite because of its basketball program. Some schools are more popular for their sports accomplishments than their ability to place graduates into jobs upon graduation. NCSU has one of the most successful programs in the country for bringing in privately-funded research funds. Students benefit from this by having opportunities to assist professors as research assistants. NCSU is also very successful with its internship program. Students at NCSU can walk away upon graduation with job experience and marketable degrees unlike its neighboring public university that has Duke envy issues but not-so-marketable degrees.
