  Location: Contrarian Island | seems like the poll hit 125 no votes and stopped.. maybe someone at the paper that doesn't like muskies didn't want it to be a lopsided win for the muskies and closed the poll??!!  maybe the editor doesn't like muskies... !  interesting..

I had the same issue when using Google Chrome. I tried opening the link with Internet Explorer and was able to vote that way. |

  Location: Contrarian Island | it hit 125 no votes and stopped... but now seems to be back up... interestingly it opened back up after I emailed the editor asking why it was closed..   |

  Location: MN | How do you cast your vote - clicking all over it doesn't take me to anywhere I can vote.  Is it shut down again? |

  Location: Contrarian Island | I think their system is set up to open and close it periodically maybe to prevent spammers? check it in 30 minutes/hour... seems to open and close.... |

  | It's up to 241 no votes, but I cannot vote either.  I will try a little later.  
  
I did send the email blast to the list of house members from the other post.  I didn't get one reply.  
  
I did also send a email to Matt Dean.  He is my state rep, but wasn't on the list in the other email.  I met his brother Dan years ago at the MN Musky Alliance.  I haven't heard back from Matt either. |

  Location: The desert | I hope that everyone who is voting is also sending emails to the Reps and Senators. 300 emails about the same subject in one day might open a few eyes.  
  
Keep the support going! |

  Location: Contrarian Island | I emailed the reps, senators, and governor this to read...

  | I really like that article.  And, how many lake property owners are actually Anderson's constituents.  Then again, reason doesn't abound much out in the real world.

  | That is a very well written arictle. Even though I've already emailed all state reps with no response I will be emailing this link also. So true. Why do property owners think they own the lake? Ugh |

  | I urge everyone that voted no for this little poll on the Outdoor News website also continues to email our Senators. I'm sure most are but I really don't think this poll is going to help sway the vote. Please keep the emails coming.
