A few of us have been posting this up everywhere, so I'm sorry if you've seen it before, but it's really important to get the word out. Please take the time to read it and vote:
Ni howdy, Browncoats!
A little more than 10 days remain to vote, and Firefly is now EXACTLY on schedule to reach 750,000 votes by the end of the Poll! However, more immediately, we have one record which has eluded us: Most votes cast in a 24 hour voting period.* Firefly topped out on March 7, 2007: 2,359; Xena broke that record, on March 30, 2007: 2,803. This coming Wednesday, August 6, we're gonna do the impossible, again, and take back the record, once and for all!
So, to those Browncoats who are voting, I know from the numbers that many of you are already going for a hard burn. Still, if there is any way to squeeze in even 1 or 2 more legal** votes during the Wednesday-Thursday voting period, it'll make a difference. To those folks who haven't been voting, I'd like to extend a friendly invite, if you'd care to cast even 1 or 2 votes that day, it'd mean a world of difference. More'd be welcome, of course; in fact, if every Browncoat within range of this Wave cast just 1 more vote than they'd been accustomed to, either way, we could just about sew this one up and go home.
The battle's almost over, and we're gonna own this valley! So, let's not lay down arms. Let's fix bayonets, and come charging outta the trenches and take that record!
Voting is simple; you can vote for more as many Top 40 shows as you like, as often as once every sixty minutes. Use any one of these three links:
http://richlabonte. net/tvvote
www.richlabo nte.net/tvvote
http://richlabonte. net/tvvote/ index.html
ALL three work for voting, so if you have trouble, you can try an alternate address instead. If you get an error message, refresh your non-AOL browser (AOL doesn't like TV Vote).
No registration is required, there are no cookies, no pop-ups. Just click on as many show titles as you choose, and hit the "Click Once to Vote" button. And, by the way, while you're voting for Firefly, might lend a vote at the same time for our friends Dark Shadows (which is running just a day behind making their goal of 150k votes before the end of the Poll), as well as Angel (which is under attack from behind by Combat!, which is attempting to bump it down a notch before the Poll ends).
Of course, there's no time like the present to boost the vote, as well, so long as we concentrate especially hard on Wednesday.
I post expanded daily voting stats, analysis, and, projections (including other, associated shows whose fans also vote in reciprocal support of the Whedonverse, and are worthy of ours) at Universal HD Firefly (a shiny board in its own right!) at:

*Voting days run from approximately 0600 EST (1000 GMT) until approximately 0700 EST (1100 GMT) the following day. This is 25 hours, but the times are approximations (Start early, keep voting until late). The vote totals are updated once each day around 0900 EST (1300 GMT), so don't expect to see immediate results from each vote you cast.
**What makes TV Vote the most reliable online poll is Rich Labonte's devotion to sussing out cheaters. Fans can vote once an hour every hour, but only once. If multiple votes from the same IP SubNet mask are received within an hour, all votes from that SubNet are discarded to prevent a single person from running to each computer in an office or library. If multiple votes on a rotating IP or a bot are detected, not only are current and future votes discarded, but the show may be penalized votes as well (one such incident almost closed the poll in 2007).
