WE HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED THE RULES TO THE POLL. You will now only be able to vote once per hour, per device. For example, if you have a phone, computer and tablet, you can vote three times an hour, once on each device. We are hoping this makes thing as fair as possible to give everyone a shot at winning the vote.
The poll will still remain open until 11:59 p.m. Thursday, April 17. You can find the link to the poll by SCROLLING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
