Ben Swann currently BARELY in FIRST place for a Shorty Award

[LibertyEagle]

Ben Swann is swimming in an entirely different pool than Amber and he has risked his substantial credentials to report what he has reported. If we cannot stand up for him in this little thing, sheesh, it doesn't speak well of us at all in my opinion.

Does anyone remember how long we longed for someone like Ben to report the facts of what was happening? Someone who would actually be listened to? And here he is and he only has a piddling 100+ votes from us???

Actually, he has 225 votes right now. He's only 8 votes behind Lyons, who is currently in first place with 234 votes.

And Ben's vote total went up 3 votes while I was typing this - he was 11 points behind when I started ...

Damn! Now he's just 5 votes away. At this rate, he's gonna take first place any moment now ...

Ben is in the lead now!

Ben Swann - 235 votes
Amber Lyon - 234 votes

He's still shown at 2nd place, though, so I guess something on the server-side has to update the rankings. But he now has the most votes!

Surely we can do better than 250+ votes for Ben.
I'm going to FB this and see if I can get some of my family to vote (even though they probably don't know who he is).

 

[Confederate]

Vote every day! Make sure Ben wins!

I feel something is wrong about the way they are counting the votes (for all the nominees). There is NO WAY Ben only has 250+ votes.

A lot of people on my timeline seem to be just cheerfully retweeting my tweets, not putting in their own votes.

Note that nominations are open until Feb 10 so people who fell behind have an opportunity to catch up and pass him!

Ben has 284, to Lyon's 235.

Here are all of his nominations:

Ben should make himself a campaign video like some of the others have.

I'll tweet that to him. I don't suppose we have anything with his stuff that would help?

I signed up for Twitter JUST to do this!!

I did this a week ago but my vote never showed up in the timeline. I deleted my first vote and tweeted again; no beans.

Are you using a phone or a computer? Did you allow them authorization as an application on your account?

I'm using a computer and I gave them permission. I also wrote something after "because".
He's winning, so it doesn't really matter. It's also possible that the vote is counted despite not showing up in the recent votes section.
