http://redeye.chicagotribune.com/red-chara...7294937.specialVote for DWIGHT for Best TV Character! (Thanks lbs33 from LITO for the link)He is head to head right now with Dr. House, and Dwight could sure use all Office fans support since a lot (and I mean a LOT) of House fans are voting in also! So far they're tied up.
Voting for this round closes on Monday, March 19.
Btw, MICHAEL SCOTT lost

If you are really interested in seeing Dwight win this, you can vote multiple times if you clear your cookies, close and reopen your browser and vote again. Repeat as many times as necessary... I've give Dwight 5 votes so far.

I've now got two computers running the Firefox macro now and it looks like some of you might have it running too. Dwight is catching up and now has 40.8% to House's 59.2%. Keep up the good work!!!

Not quite sure if this works for Internet Explorer. Basically I have my "Privacy Settings" under the Internet Options settings on my Tools tab set to "Block All Cookies" and just I keep highligting Dwight and hitting the vote button as much as I can.
Does that work? I cant tell because a lot of people seem to be voting as well. But if it doesn't please let me know so I can stop wasting time xP

When this thread started Dwight only had 41.2% to House's 58.8% so we've successfully turned the tables plus some! Let's keep it going if you can and get Dwight into the Final Four! Thanks.

Hi BB! Were you able to vote once before it stopped letting you vote? Each time you vote, their website places a cookie on your computer saying that you've voted and not to let you do so again. To vote again you'll need to delete the cookies or disable cookies entirely or run the Firefox/iMacros setup I mentioned earlier in this thread.

It won't let me vote at all! It keeps showing me a video of Dwight and a video of the other guy, but I don't see a place to vote!

Hmmnnn... I wonder if your web-browser's security settings are set high enough to block the buttons. You could try lowering the settings or going through the advanced options to see if there's some configuration setting you could change to allow access to it or I could just vote a couple-dozen extra times for you...

It will let me vote one time & then when I try to vote again it will give me the results but not let me vote again in the Dwight vs House contest- it will however let me vote in the other contests- which I could care less about.
Note: DKS vs House is by far the most active - some of the others hardly have a few thousand votes.

REDEYE'S CHARACTER WARS
We knew you loved your favorite TV characters but we didn’t know how far you were willing to go for them. It’s been evident to anybody watching the voting in the polls that something fishy was going on beyond mere ballot stuffing. We wish we could have stopped the people who rigged their browsers to vote hundreds of times per minute but unfortunately our system isn’t able to do that. So we’re having a do over.
We’re wiping out the votes for three of the four Elite Eight match-ups. We’re letting Jack Donaghy’s win over Ari Gold stand because there was no sign of rigged browing. Instead of polls, you can now vote through our e-mail-based system. The extended voting will end at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 20 so we’re giving you 24 hours.
We’ll post updates later today to let you know how the voting is going. We’re doing this not because we care who wins but because many of you complained and we don’t want the winner to be the character whose fans had the most rigged browsers running.

Well, it looks like we now have a clean slate and the opportunity to participate in a more accurate poll now. Everyone with an email address can vote once and only once making the results
much more accurate. Time to see who really is the most popular TV character. Enter your vote now:
