I was rooting for the W123, but this right here is suspect.

It evened back out. My best guess is the Merc fans got less drunk than the stang fans last night.

Hmm.. last I looked it said poll closed and the result were something like 49.47% to the fox and 50.53% to the W123..

Edit: mixed up some numbers.

I don't have anything to say! I don't confess to anything! You are putting words in my mouth!

Yeah, the Mustang fans mounted a major comeback this morning. I'm just pointing out that there was a hell of a lot of one-sided voting in the hours when you wouldn't expect many people to be at their computers.

Yeah, I agree with you.. Something not quite right.

Even though this is a US site, I'm positive there are many European readers that were voting while we counted sheep.

The weirdest part is, you can only vote once per computer before clearing your cookies.

Check the timestamps I included on the images. 2,000 Europeans voted between 5 AM and 8 AM Europe time? Did they vote while getting dressed for work or something? Is their morning routine "get up, brush teeth, get on Jalopnik, have breakfast?"

Whoops, forgot to drop a "sarcasm" tag in there! Something seems fishy with the voting metric...Unless Kinja became like Reddit. *Grumble*

We don't text while driving, we vote. It's our democratic duty.

Ah, gotcha. Well then, grab a hat and join us in the parlor. Refreshments will be out soon.

You sure we're not talking about the Spanish after siesta?

I don't know any Spaniards. I only know how the transplanted German family I am friends with works! Or doesn't, depending on how you look at it.

Ze Germans pretty much have everything figured out. In Spain they had morning breaks (about an hour) and then a siesta from about 2pm to 4pm or so, and sometimes the day was over around 8pm, but could be earlier or later. Thanks, Franco and Hitler!

I think the Mustang fans were too busy dressing farm animals and sleeping with their cousins. And/or perhaps the other way around.

Ze Germans probably woke up early after a night of quick, efficient BDSM and voted W123.

The entire thing seems suspect to me.

I'll only have the refreshments if they are served in sealed containers.
