If your vote does not register (i.e., the vote count in the lower left does not increment), please post a message below telling me so. I want to document what is going on. Or better yet, also contact the poll administrator (arobertson at morgancountywv.gov) and tell him that his poll did not register your vote.

The poll has had other problems: Flag 2 only leads because of two big bursts of votes (one a group of 40 and another of 15 in a matter of a few minutes on two days). On all other days, Flag 1 got more votes. I think the designer of Flag 2 cheats and votes multiple times when it looks like his lead will be lost.

The other problem started on June 21 when votes for Flag 1 no longer registered. Perhaps the designer of Flag 2 has somehow altered the poll software. Votes for Flag 2 went through, but votes for Flag 1 only seemed to be counted if one complained to the poll administrator.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. This thread was posted in news/activism to get more attention and to expose problems with the poll.

No thanks. I’m not helping you for personal gain. That is not what FR is about. Let your design stand or fall on it’s own merits. Don’t come here asking for our help in winning a stupid contest.

If it does not state "Death To Traitors" somewhere in the design, I am morally unable to support it.

Sorry.

Shadowed lettering? Beyond that, I’d personally like to stay out of this one since I don’t live there and really shouldn’t impose my dog in this hunt. Good luck.

Geez.

Sorry.

I voted for flag # 3 before I read the narrative.
I agree pictures of people are kind of odd for flags, but there were and are figures of individuals on various state flags, as well as were on various colonial flags.

I voted for # 3 because Daniel Morgan is one of my great heroes - and actually, he was born in northwestern New Jersey. But then more intelligent Jersey boys eventually get the heck out of here.

I guess you are a Vexillologist by avocation or trade.

The only time that votes for Flag 2 occur is immediately after votes for Flag 1, so it appears the designer of flag 2 is still cheating somehow.
