I wrote to Shane Brunazzi - warning of the possibility that someone was
multi-voting for his and other models. His reply, in part (posted with
permission) follows:

I had a feeling this might be it. At this point we are so early in the
process that any "early lead" due to Shane's friends will be swallowed up by
the hundred or so people who actually entered the contest, and all the other
people who I expect to vote. Getting ones friends to vote is not against the
rules (at this point the only voting rules are, anyone can vote, and one
person one vote per category).
I have also written to the voting mechanism host asking them exactly how
they prevent multiple voting.

| Unfortunately, it looks as if someone is stuffing the voting already.
