So ApartmentsList knew they were going to cheat at the end, so they have one bot do everything required to vote, and towards the end, and then later have another bot go through and confirm addresses. And since they know they're going to be called out on their shit, they post a blog post telling everybody to forward the confirmations. There's no way theyd be able to get a significant number of people to not only go vote, but then forward a registration email

Of course there's a way: if there were specific instructions on oDesk, and they paid per vote. Here is an example: https://www.odesk.com/jobs/hours-facebook-votes_%7E%7Ef07c728ee23ae5da?tot=2187&pos=21 https://www.odesk.com/jobs/hours-facebook-votes_%7E%7Ef07c72... Of course, any of these could easily be them; there are hundreds of anonymous posts paying for votes. It's so easy and common to scam online votes that it happens all the time.
