I brought up the broken voting setup a number of times in the past. This wouldn't happen if the admins and trusted judges were the ones voting for PotM. Even when people don't cheat, I guarantee most of the voters don't bother reading every entry in order to judge them fairly. They'll vote for the one that's already their favorite; or they'll vote for the first one that impresses them and not bother with the others; and either way, they probably don't know the difference between "like/dislike" and "good/bad". If oscar winners were determined by regular moviegoers, Twilight would have won every award every time.
