Oh really now...well maybe you should check this post out from his website:
It is easy.. our meetup has some tools that are pretty cheap. We use ipipi, you can send several thousand messages for about $100 and the best part is because it doesn't use phone numbers, it bypasses poll secuirty.
I won't go into more here, you can find info on the secure area the meetup sites (if it was posted for your meetup group) so you can use this.

So obviously, you don't know what you are talking about.
There's no way to know whether FNC actually accepted any spam votes from ipipi.com. They indicated in the last poll that they tracked every phone and that they had to be individual phones the SMS came from.
No reason to believe they counted these ipipi.com messages. Why don't you write a note to FNC and just ask them if they're excluding SMS from ipipi.com and other online SMS services?
