From the Niagara Falls Review:
Niagara Falls’ distant second-place finish in CBC’s Seven Wonders of Canada contest has one of the mighty cataract’s supporters wondering if dirty tricks had anything to do with the commanding lead Thunder Bay’s Sleeping Giant took in the voting.”I put two and two together. It almost goes without saying, anybody with a bit of computer knowledge can figure out what happened,” said Don Nesbitt, who has worked in the information technology field for 20 years.
Nesbitt said he believes some voters must have enlisted computer assistance to puff up the results. But a CBC spokesman said the broadcasting company’s technology department was on the lookout for that kind of abuse and didn’t notice it.
