Attached please find my third separate direct solicitation to vote for a particular organization or business in your 2015 Best of WNC competition. Those implementing campaigns to thus rig the deal are gaming your contest.
Although I don’t personally participate, as a repeat Best Villain winner, I thought I’d reinforce my credentials. Some of your readers are cheaters.

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
Wow, something I agree with Carl Mumpower about!
The first time Sirius B was voted best Rock band, I knew something was fishy. Either the voters don’t know what rock music is, or the system is rigged towards favouring those with the most friends on Facebook. Actual talent and ability to rock don’t seem to matter.
Yep. 12 Bones is somehow immune to one criticism that for some odd reason any other hole in the wall would be laughed about. For a restaurant that closes an entire month, they could at least FIX THE DAMN LACK OF HOT WATER IN THE BATHROOM.
