Hey guys, Dan here at Hometown Life. I can assure you there is nothing rigged about the poll. Please enjoy it in the spirit of what it is meant to be - a fun, lighthearted poll. All nominees should be seen as winners for their accomplishments!

You people are ridiculous! If you were a voter then you clearly saw one of the mommies gain hundreds of votes in a matter of minutes, even if the whole school was voting, the maximum number would've been reached far before their votes caught up to the other nominee that has been leading all week. I don't know none of these athletes, personally, and I'm not a parent, I'm a student, in fact, and based on what I saw when I was voting, Joel deserves to be the winner. But I don't believe anyone is being unsportsmanlike or a sore loser. I see their argument, and it's valid
It Is What It Is - 5 years ago
I don't think anyone is being unsportsmanlike and I'm not a parent of any of these athletes either. But I did see the same thing happen in the beginning with Sarah's vote. If the system is rigged then it is. Joel's vote were not being counted, and Megan was receiving other votes. Though I can't prove it, only because I'm not the creator of this poll; but I an Statisticists and I know numbers, and this is not how numbers work. And if Megan had the whole school voting for her, then great! I'm glad she don't/doesn't have to go through harsh racism that Joel had to endure, it would've been great for his school to rally behind him. (But that's another subject we'll leave alone). No one is doing anything wrong for pointing out this company's pour polling system. Megan gets to hold her trophy up with pride and no one has taken that away from her. We all are very proud of her and we congratulate her. This won't bother her, I'm sure. But again, it is what it is.
The poll is closed. I said what I had to say. Congrats to all of the nominees and congrats to the Winner!!
Good job athletes!

wow this website is rigged I’m calling the police
LOL SO RIGGED!!!!! - 5 years ago
Whinny snowflake I maybe......but cheater is what you all are have a great day
Unfair to Joel??? - 5 years ago
Like any game, it isn't over until it is over. down never means out, until time has run out on the clock.
Congrats to whoever wins. and Congrats to all nominated, if your season is still alive, good luck in the playoffs/championships!
GROW UP!!!! PEOPLE!!! - 5 years ago
WOW.... BUNCH OF WHINY SNOWFLAKES ON HERE!
lol - 5 years ago
And everyone has an opinion and I still feel it' s rigged so call me whatever makes you happy its unfair to Joel who was winning by 3000+ and to his family who has been here all week voting and you suddenly combine hours before and takeover our votes were not counting but yours were make that make sense!!!!!!
Re: It Is What It Is - 5 years ago
I agree there is nothing wrong with pointing out issues with the system. But using words like "rigged" is not pointing out issues with the system. It is being unsportsmanlike.
I have asked this several times: How is it rigged? are only votes for Joel not being counted? Are votes for Megan being double counted? what about Hannah, she doesn't seem to have very many votes, maybe all her votes are being counted for Joel.... NONE OF THIS IS HAPPENING!
2nd off, I am not a parent of any of these athletes....But I do know that the South Lyon Community has a ton of pride for their athletes, and maybe they have come together to vote for Megan. Maybe they rallied harder than the Birmingham Groves community. Everyone is playing by the same rules, there is no tilted field here.
Did you ever think, maybe the school rallied all of their students to vote for Megan?
What you and others are doing is wrong, you are tarnishing an award a STUDENT ATHLETE could win, by making claims about something being "RIGGED" but no one has produced any evidence of it. Yes there is a flaw in the system, that doesn't alert you to the fact you hit the maximum # of votes from a device, but that is FAR from being rigged!
Come adults, show some more class than this.
Re: Re: re: Clearly Broken - 5 years ago
So is it the polling system is trash or it is rigged? Those are 2 totally different comments, with 2 totally different meanings.
Is the system not perfect, NO it isn't.
Do all voters have to play by the same rules, yes.
So I could agree with your comment about it being trash, maybe it should display a message saying you have hit your limit. But to say it is rigged simply is not fair to whoever wins this award. The system might be flawed, but it is NOT rigged! The kicking and screaming is not fair to all of the athletes who are nominated.
It Is What It Is - 5 years ago
And there's nothing wrong with pointing out faults in a system. No one is taking anything away from these nominees by mentioning difficulties with the polling. They don't have poor taste or sportsmanship for pointing out the obvious. Yes all these athletes are deserving, and the winner should win without any controversy. Unfortunately, I agree with Annon and Michal. But job well done to all the nominees. Parents/adults have every right to defend their child if they think they have been wronged. There's nothing wrong with that either.
Re: re: Clearly Broken - 5 years ago
I’m just stating what’s happening. The video looks clear on my end but sure, call it whining. The polling system is trash, and that’s the main takeaway from this.
re: Clearly Broken - 5 years ago
well I would love to explain it to you except your video quality SUCKS! you cant see crap. and if you are trying to explain why the vote isn't being counted, Look below it has been covered several times.
No one is taking anything away from any of these athletes, but to claim this is rigged because you athlete is losing, that shows poor sportsmanship. All these athletes deserve to be applauded for their efforts, and they were by being nominated. Whoever wins this award is deserving, but all of you claiming it is rigged are showing poor taste, sportsmanship and need to simply stop kicking and screaming because your athlete is losing. In sports, there is a saying, "Win with grace and lose with grace", it is sad when the "Adults/Parents" don't understand that!
Come on Joel!! - 5 years ago
Joel, you can do it!! It's not too late!! You can make it!

It is never petty to complain when there is injustice and unfairness. I switch devices when I reach that point, and using two additional devices that aren't mine. But I don't have to explain myself to you, I know how this works. And if she wins and get her trophy from a rigged system, then ok that's fine. The linebacker is still a star.
Go Joel! - 5 years ago
Guys, Get your friends, family, classmates and ANYONE who is willing to vote over and over.
We need more devices voting.
1 HOUR left is enough time to take the lead.
Go!!!
Not Rigged - 5 years ago
Megan must just have a ton of fans out there! Congrats to all of these fab athletes!
I know we've got a ton of people voting right now, but I think everyone does!
Go kids! :-)
Michael - 5 years ago
I bring attention to Annon's comment, votes going up *hundreds* by the minute. That is very highly unlikely if the poll isn't rigged. I doubt it if there are literally 1 hundred persons, all voting at once, all at the same time. Didn't happen!
reply to Rigged Poll: - 5 years ago
You all with your Rigged comments...
Rigged infers that there is some sort of corruption going on or conspiracy... How is it "rigged" if everyone has the same rules to play by? Maybe one candidate has more people voting....
Again Rigged - 5 years ago
Ok if not trophy let the senior linebacker win ....It is his last year have a heart
Hi - 5 years ago
I've been dropped out from voting because i too noticed the rigged system. I think it's the company that has these polls. They are designed to not count votes after a certain amount. And if it really were about a maximum number to vote on a device, then no more votes would go through. However I've voted over and over many times from my one device and I too saw that my votes weren't being counted. But the polling system is rigged.
reply to Rigged Poll: - 5 years ago
again.... YOU CAN ONLY VOTE SO MANY TIMES. you will notice the difference when you vote. The top header will change to saying something like "your vote has been counted" after that any vote will not be counted.
To complain that this is rigged though it pretty petty....sorry there isn't a participation trophy for everyone!
yes rigged - 5 years ago
That's why I've been using three devices. And never mind that, nearly impossible Megan gained over a thousands votes in just two hours earlier this morning. This is very much rigged.
Rigged Poll! - 5 years ago
This is very much rigged or something is going on. I've been voting but quit because I've noticed both what Annon and Cindy said. Yes it was working for me until my votes was not being counted at all. Meanwhile, Megans votes were sky rocketing. I had at least 20 people voting, that I know who were voting, that's not counting others that I don't know if they were voting or not, but i sent them the link. This is not right and this is not fair.
Rigged Really??? - 5 years ago
You can't see your votes tallying up because you have exceeded your limit of votes. Even though the article says there is no limit of votes, there is a limit of votes from 1 device.
Rigged though really????
Is rigged - 5 years ago
Why is it working for you but not us RIGGED
Is rigged - 5 years ago
Yeah ok
Not Rigged - 5 years ago
It's working for me! I found my kiddo's name on a Facebook share and I've just been voting!
Cindy - 5 years ago
How is it i can vote 20 time in a row, pausing for 10 seconds each time, not Not see my vote count. This must be a rigged poll
Annon - 5 years ago
Megan Sartotis votes are going up by hundreds every minute. This poll must be rigged.
