Habs players lead All-star ballot thanks to a robot

From Kukla's Korner.

Here’s one of the many perils of using a 100% digital voting process for the all-star game.

We’ve all seen how the Habs are crushing the ballot boxes with homer votes. But it isn’t that they’re really energetic and enthusiastic about voting. Some clever kids in Montréal have devised a javascript voting robot.

Ingenious? You bet. In “the spirit of the thing”? Absolutely not.

It’s a completely ludicrous process anyway.
