 A Statement from REWIND about the 2017 Watermelon Festival “Fan Vote”:

To our wonderful friends that enjoy our music and have been submitting votes on our behalf, REWIND has officially withdrawn from the 2017 Watermelon Festival “Fan Vote” campaign.  First of all, this is not an issue with our friends at the Chamber of Commerce.  This is an issue with the polling website and the process for the following reasons.

On the evening of Friday, March 10, 2017, approximately 947 votes were deleted by the pole-maker.com website.  Subsequently, an additional 818 votes were deleted on Wednesday, March 15th, for a grand total of approximately 1765 votes.  (Note: When we made our initial decision to withdraw on the Friday evening of March 10th, we were polling in the top three (3) groups and the morning of March 10thwas the last time we asked for your vote.)

 It is our understanding that most of these deleted votes were executed in a school, office, or home location that utilizes the same wifi-internet connection.  Those situations will result in the votes displaying the same IP address to the pole-maker website.  Therefore according to their policy, pole-maker.com will delete those votes with duplicate IP addresses, even though those were “legal” votes performed on separate devices and/or by different people.  Another one of our concerns is the possibility of voting program or “robo-vote” software being employed.  The use of these programs and methods are hard for the online polling sites to detect.     

 With that being said, we would like to ask our friends to please continue to vote in the campaign for the other “local” groups that have been selected.  We do wish much success to our friends at the Chamber of Commerce as well as our friends in the other groups.  We love the Watermelon Festival and we wish nothing but continued success as it showcases Franklin County.              

Please click on the link below and vote for the other “local” groups.
