This Week's Poll Was Redone Because We Got A Nominee's Name Wrong

Well, you've been reading our Twitter updates about how we have been apologizing for an error we made. It was difficult to explain ourselves completely in one update, especially since you cannot go over 140 characters, so here's the full explanation.

We made a poll for this week's contest, and we had 5 nominees. So after it was created, we started sending out notifications to everyone. When we tried to notify one of the nominees, we realized that the band we were looking for was called Light This City. For some reason, we entered in Sound The City, which was the name of another band that did not live in the state that we were focusing on this week. The first link that we sent out was http://www.wishafriend.com/poll/101796/ for the first version of the poll. When we realized the problem, we had to go back and remake the poll with the right names of our nominees. The new and correct poll link is http://www.wishafriend.com/poll/101797/. The first one had already pulled in 4 votes because we notified the first two nominees, which were spelled correctly. However, we didn't reset the vote count despite having to do a new poll. When we take a look at the results from the revised poll, we will transfer in the votes from the first poll. Whenever we make an error in a poll, we always redo it and resend our notices back out to everyone, so we try not to make a big deal out of it. This was just an error that would have mislead a fan to the wrong nominee.

By the way, here's the full poll up below here.
